Have to wait and see how this turns out. My father handled the Harvey's Wagon Wheel explosion insurance claim. I got to go with him when he toured it.

Hard to know why someone would do this but it probably comes down to one or more of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The AT&T building is right there where r v blew up. Many that use that service is out. Some believe that could be a connection. 40 plus buildings are damaged to some degree. A major construction will follow as many of the buildings will be tore down. The blast is said to be felt as far away as 40 miles. Blocks away windows were shattered. A lot more to this story then just a bombing. Loud speakers from rv warning residents to get out quickly before explosives blew the area. When mayor cooper went on camera for news briefing, he was giddy and laughed. The residents were outraged and now mayor is serious when doing his tv news updates. So so sad! No more talk in Nashville about defunding the police. These were heroes and mayor cooper should be ousted (Fired).

So sad what this world is coming to....

Line up the perpetrators against a wall and use them for target practice.

AT&T customers can’t accept payments at there businesses in many areas except cash. The effects of the powerful bomb on second avenue in Nashville. Local Walmart’s are reporting. No returns are accepted on the biggest return day of the year. AT&T customers are effected. Others are possibly effected also as fiber optics no doubt are shared. Could this be a practice bombing to disrupt on a greater degree in the future? We are surely in weird and dangerous times. This was a bombing to disrupt and not to kill people as warnings from the r v told people to leave the area. Very strange! Gun fire, whether real or by recording woke people up, then a woman’s voice like Siri kept repeating to leave quickly for explosives were to detonate! Truly unbelievable.

The ONLY positive from this abhorrent act, is that at least a warning was broadcast prior to it blowing up. Will be watching closely, to see if they can solve this and bring the heinous perpetrators to justice.

The FBI will find out who did this and why.

They are at a suspects house in Antioch Tn very close to Nashville. A picture with a rv just like the one used. Lots of tips. We will see. A 63 year old man. Anthony Warner FBI n TBI searching his home

[Taltarzac725]

Looks like a man with a grudge against AT&T who committed suicide through the bombing.

They have raided a home 12 miles out of Nashville last night...sounds like no one was there, but maybe the culprit..

[Two Bills]

Well. He went out with a bang, not a whimper!
