Major Explosion In Downtown Nashville, Authorities Say it was an ‘Intentional Act’
(Chaz Anon) Nothing should be a surprise in 2020, therefore a bombing on Christmas fits the script quite well. It is being reported that Nashville police say they responded to a report that shots were fired in the general area that a bomb would later explode, when a recording began playing from an RV stating that a bomb would detonate in less than 15 minutes. It is still not clear whether there was anyone inside the RV when it detonated.
Police are still not sure of the bomber’s motive or whether the placement of the bomb was intentional, but speculation is growing rampant on Twitter and other social media sites.. The bomb, which exploded near the iconic AT&T building (dubbed “the batman building” because of its distinctive silhouette in the Nashville skyline) has knocked out cell service to many customers in the Nashville area; AT&T says they are working to restore service to everyone in the area.
The FBI is asking for help from the public to identify anyone who might have information about the bombing, including pictures of the area that might have been taken before or after the explosion.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, they received a call about a suspicious RV parked near the tourist district on 2nd Avenue downtown and hazmat teams were en route to the area when the explosion occurred around 6:30 am Christmas morning.
The explosion appears to have devastated sections of Second Avenue and caused fires. Three people have been reportedly been transported to the hospital, but none with critical injuries.
The blast shook the entire downtown area and was reported on Twitter by numerous Nashville residents.
Nashville police department spokesman Don Aaron told CNN that the incident is being investigated by multiple agencies, including the FBI and BATF.
Numerous Nashville residents took to Twitter to document the Christmas morning scene of destruction.

Many are speculating that the bomb at the AT&T building is somehow related to the election and the division that is growing in this nation. Many on Twitter are claiming it was a successful attack on the NSA’s cybersecurity infrastructure, while other rumors suggest that it was a failed attack that was interrupted.
The mayor of Nashville’s reaction was weird, with a smile on his face he seemed inappropriately amused by the bombing.
Many on the right (and left) believe that war is already being waged inside the United States, by various allied factions on both sides, in what is being called a modern warfare version of civil war.
CIA-NSA computer expert Edward Snowden, who, in 2013, revealed the NSA hidden spy hubs located in American cities—revelations that, in 2015, were analyzed by the New York Times in their article “AT&T Helped U.S. Spy On Internet On A Vast Scale”, that stated: “The National Security Agency’s ability to spy on vast quantities of Internet traffic passing through the United States has relied on its extraordinary, decades-long partnership with a single company: the telecom giant AT&T”—a secret relationship between the NSA and AT&T to begin a massive spying operation against the American people in 1985, known as Fairview Surveillance Program—and one of whose most vital NSA spying hubs is located in the AT&T building in Nashville at the epicenter of this explosion, specifically its massive underground conduits underlying the streets of downtown Nashville—which is why immediately following this explosion AT&T reported a widespread outage—an outage to include northern Alabama, where is located one of the most critical military bases in America known as Redstone Arsenal, whose strategic importance President Trump has elevated since he began moving his loyal FBI forces there by the thousands.
