Nashville Tennessee explosion (maybe a intentional act?)

Cheerful Spring2

A HUGE Christmas Day explosion in Nashville has left "multiple casualties" as cops warned of "more devices in vehicles."

According to reports, investigators believe that the Friday morning explosion was an "intentional act."

So far, even though the sun says multiple casualties, i have seen no official reports of deaths.

Some video online it looks like an enormous explosion just went off? Police are currently saying it was an intentional act (maybe a car bomb?) but this information may change during the day?

If it was a terrorist attack, the modus operandi is unusual.

6am on Christmas morning in a deserted downtown business area.

Unless it was a premature explosion of an unstable bomb.

Some outlets are suggesting a propane explosion in an RV (motor home).. but the damage is too extensive.

SKY reporting that it went off at 6.30am in an area “packed” with bars and restaurants. Seems an odd choice of time if intentional as i’d imagine it would be pretty deserted at that time in the morning.

They'll be able to turn the event into a positive by singing a few country songs about it

Potentially radioactive according to Phil Williams NC5.

Oh just read more, they just check for that as standard with smaller explosions.

Nashville is in Tennessee, not Texas. But such a horrible thing to happen on Christmas morning.

According to this person updating the media on CNN, the suspicious vehicle got driven to and was then parked outside an AT&T building in the neighborhood? Why it might have got targeted you going to hear all about that soon enough from the left. I hope it's turns out to be accident, America has enough problems to deal with. Someone trying to stoke tensions.

I hope it does not effect Micheal or that other American Picker lad. They have it had a shop in Nashville. Hopefully no one injured and it was just a gas explosion.

Police seemed to do a good job clearing people out. Well done them!

No one's been killed as far as I can tell. Funny how this will be a big deal but if someone just shot 5 or 6 people it would barely make the news.

Oh it would make the news if someone just casually strolled out of bed and shot 5 or 6 people on Christmas morning


you'd also have the regular pack of eejits wanting to take the single barrel shotguns from Irish farmers in the hope of stopping it happening again

Mass shootings have happened this December although admittedly without the Christmas morning factor present. I guess the 4-5 victim ones don't make major news anymore.

The police have just confirmed the vehicle had a loud speaker and was telling people around the scene to get away and evacuate a bomb was about to explode. Definitely terrorism so.

This is an alleged video before the bomb went off and voice is heard.

The question for authorities was the person who planted the bomb trying to get more people to come out and have a look and be caught in the blast. Or was he trying to save lives? Just sending a weird message?

I be surprised if this is the best footage they got? The police maybe intentionally not releasing much clearer images of the driver, passengers and the RV number plate?

The fact that there was a warning suggests more of a domestic group rather than global terrorism.

Thankfully the injuries were minor, yet still very strange.

It smells like a prelude to something

Probably a Trumphead. One of the buildings damaged belonged to a CNN subsidiary. Hysterical tweets have consequences

Do you not think it's a bit weird of a YouTube account that was made 6-7 years ago, never posted anything until today and it was a video of the explosion in Nashville?

Very strange altogether.

News headline

#Cincinnati Police Department is investigating a suspicious RV parked near the Federal Building. Explosives experts assessing the vehicle.

This may end up as a false alarm, but the police have requested the bomb squad to come out and take a look.

Is it not a slight coincidence of what's actually in the clips on his page? To what they are referring to to what has happened it's all abit bizzare and weird but the FBI will look into.

Have a few friends in Nashville and first thing I thought of was an IRA carbombing. The Leo video is fairly mad too. Interesting situation.

Police said the RV played listening music, played recorded, gunshot noises, and a warning to evacuate the area. It's very weird, agreed.

Police said officers arrived at the scene a good 20 minutes or 30 minutes before the explosive went off and the police knocked on doors and told citizens to leave their homes. The loudspeaker is why the police responded like this.. Right now; it seems the bomber's intention was to destroy property and not kill people? That's a guess, and nobody truly knows the motivating factor here.
