Reports of an explosion in downtown Nashville, hoping folks are ok and swift justice finds whoever is involved.

Whats going on in Nashville for this to happen ?

 

[vh20]

Initial reports I saw earlier this morning - "no foul play suspected." Holy Crap! WHERE do "official" reports like this come from. Any IDIOT can look at that and AT THE VERY LEAST you must SUSPECT foul play, whether it turns out to be or not (and it almost certainly will based on the appearance of the scene).

It happened in an area of mostly nightclubs, etc, but didn't go off until 0630 today. I'm wondering if it was supposed to go off last night. This morning someone noticed the vehicle and reported it as suspicious. The responding officer was suspicious enough to call in the EOD team. I'm not clear on whether it went off before, or after their arrival. So far no casualties are reported though.

Eh. They said it was an RV.

RVs propane leak all the time - mine is pretty squared away but I have a propane detector and check everything every time I move it. And have a propane alarm.

It leaks 1 out of every 20 moves or so.

Um...have you SEEN the pics of the scene? Do you carry 5000 gal of propane in your RV? Storefronts along the length of nearly an entire city block are destroyed.

Post pics then you muppet

 

[seanh]

I'm thinking the same that was mentioned previously, a late delay or it could have gone off early for today. There is no reason for an RV to be in that location, this alone is suspicious.

While watching Fox News somebody said that it happened in front of the AT&T building

 

[vh20]

Do you really need a muppet to google that for you? I'm watching on tv, haven't looked up anything on the web.

 

[squishee]

Yes unless its firearms related we need your googleFOO . WTF

Correct, but I wonder if that was the actual target (but that company sure has an uncommon ability to really piss off their customers). Nevertheless, I'm now thinking the typical terrorist Christmas Day attack, and I'm thinking it might have been pre-placed for tonight when the clubs would be busy and the streets full. Then, it may have been monitored by the attackers from a distance, and once they saw it had been discovered and the bomb squad was called in, they decided to blow it early rather than allow it to be disabled.

 

[chongoMT]

Maybe the RV was filled with pistol braces and 80% stuff.

 

[Pinmaster]

I had to get out and go towards downtown and officers have the roads shut down.

Nashville police reveal possible human remains found near bomb site

Highly possible as the squad was almost there; at least according to one report. Kinda scary as I go to Vandy to the doc and that's a bit too close for comfort, not to mention having to always park in a parking deck.

Just expect more of this shit to come when j&h become p/vp should that scenario actually come to fruition as it appears more and more likely with each passing day. But people with AR's and high powered rifles are the troublemakers...we all know that.

 

[squishee]

Thanks for proper info Pinmaster.

 

[Davesnothere]

Link to report of EOD team responding?

 

[Animal357]

The first thing that I asked when my wife told me about it: "Was it by Democrats or foreigners?" Only thing worse that an attack is having to ask if your own countrymen did it.

I live 10 miles away and heard it

Right now I am at the airport about 6 miles away.

 

[seanh]

I wonder if the AT&T building in question is also an NSA collection point.

Thanks for the link.
Bomb guys do forensics and turn report over to FBI bubbas.

It's in the Fox News story previously posted. "...hazardous devices units".

My brother lives there and knows that area well. I just texted him to ask what is in that building besides AT&T.

The AT&T building is a block or two away. .2 miles I doubt that there is any damage to the AT&T building

 

[ffjoey]

MSM and libs will be trying hard to sell this as a right wing white supremacy deal. Guarantee it

 

[vh20]

@Pinmaster Hmmm. Ok. The reporting stated the vehicle was parked in front of the AT&T building, so I don't know.

edit: The Fox News story above says a suspicious vehicle "parked near the city's AT&T building," which makes it sound like it was the closest in proximity to the blast.

 

[Pinmaster]

@Pinmaster Hmmm. Ok. The reporting stated the vehicle was parked in front of the AT&T building, so I don't know.

I'm not sure yet either. Bu the damage that I see on the news is is 2nd ave. Hooters is on one end and The Wild horse Saloon is on the other end. The wild horse is close to the AT&T building.

 

[BytorJr]

I think VH is onto something here. Attempt to kill a lot of people tonight. Remote trigger.

Also, I don't think the AT&T office building was it, but there was a picture in the tennesean that showed what looks to be an old AT&T/MaBell switch building (red building with all cell phone antennas on it).

I agree this area is a big tourist area for us. Not sure if the bars/ restaurants on 2nd ave planned on being open tonight but that area gets a lot of pedestrian traffic when our tourist area is busy. George Jones Museum and Bar is one of the buildings with a lot of damage.
Hard Rock is at 2nd and Broadway. Boadway is the largest tourist area in Nashville.

Our mayor has been really tough on the downtown bars andrestaurants during Covid. It may be some retaliation to that...

 

[Tempest 455]

RV was 1st spotted by AT&T. Police were on patrol for the vehicle. Sounds as if there was gunfire before the explosion.
Was NOT a propane leak.

[vh20]

@squishee and @Bender

I honestly tried (you lazy bastards). But to be honest, I still haven't seen or couldn't find anything on the web (including the links already posted) that really shows the extent of the damage that was visible on the live Fox reporting. I think it's worse than shown here.

 

[vh20]

Gunfire?!

 

[JbBooks]

Anyone that’s ever tried to cancel at&t can understand someone trying to evaporate them!

 

[Pinmaster]

Gunfire?!

Yes, reports of gunfire multiple shots

 

[diverdon]

It leaks 1 out of every 20 moves or so.

RVs do often leak propane but seldom enough to reach explosive concentrations.

 

[Herb Stoner]

Probably just pissed off over trying to cancel his cable...

 

[Eric32]

I call bullshit on that fucking guy, no way in hell that he was able to count shots fired and get out of bed and barricade himself in.

 

[Dogtown]

Now we wait to see if it's brown terrorists or white patriots.

 

[10ring'r]

What's curious to me is, there's nothing left of that RV. I've witnessed RV's blowing up (Hi-way/Interstate incidents) with their 50-75gal. of propane and usually the cab/frame/bathroom sections are visible, at the very least, distinguishable. Hummm? Mac

 

[Slash0311]

I read a couple articles that mentioned calls coming in of shots fired then the exolosion.

I wonder if it wasn't an attempt to draw police into the area before the boom. Especially if it was an area that should be empty that early so only one type of target.

Way early to make guesses but not good on many levels.

Our country needs smoke and prayers.

 

[Rocketvapor]

Local cameras catch anything?

 

[Heartstopper]

Local news reporting that the RV had a broadcast system stating that their was a bomb going to be detonated. People in the apartments had time to get out due to the warning.

The report that shots were fired they are saying was an attempt to get police to respond to that area before the bomb went off.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Its clear that we need an immediate emergency assault weapon ban.

 

[Davesnothere]

We had a saying in the op center. First report is always wrong. That was for SIGACTs in combat. With MSM, all reports are wrong.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

I can't believe noone has started investigating Cousin Eddie?

 

[isofahunter]

Trump 2020 flag found in RV remains.

 

[Threadcutter308]

I think they all are, aren't they ?

 

[Rocketvapor]

One thing for sure, we'll get the accurate report right here on SH.
Not Parler, not MSN, right here.
Might take a while though

 

[candyx]

No one claiming responsibility yet foreign or domestic ?
