    From coverage from the Tennesseean:

    "Just before the blast, witnesses in the area report a dire warning coming from the RV: “Evacuate now. There is a bomb. A bomb is in this vehicle and will explode."

      It was a trap to draw in policemen and kill them, in my opinion. It was not the bombers intent to kill civilians, which is why it was set for that early in the morning. There was a recording that started playing from the RV telling people to evacuate because the RV was set to explode. Whoever did it wanted to get civilians to run away, and police to run to, the RV.

                    @george-k My birds did not like the explosion - and made comments to that effect.

                              He mentions the 1996 IRA bombing of Manchester as having similarities - they frequently used to call in warnings ahead of time, and sometimes actually used code words so the police would know which warnings were genuine. The goal was to cause as much chaos and material damage as possible, but preferably without killing anybody.

                                Fascinating. (Horrifying too). Off topic about twitter - I really only read it when it’s linked to here, and I find I’m much more likely to keep reading without my mind drifting off somewhere else when things are broken into chunks like that, even though there were a lot of them, than I would if it were all presented together on one page. (I tend to skim, then) Pretty sure technology has rewired my brain...

                                      Little mentions that; they're now trying to determine if the remains are caused by the explosion.

                                        Great read as Jodi mentioned. I also like the chunking of info, I was think about the thought process in how the 36 tweets are written.

                                        Of course it addresses the “why” which nothing else does so far.

                                          I thought the audio evacuation warnings were really freaky to hear.
