"The explosion took out a single commercial communications hub.
And THAT crippled the city. It took down the airport. Took down emergency services and police communications. Took down data and the internet, which crippled news, information services, social media, and thus both government and the public's awareness and ability to respond.
And yet, the terrorists took pains to reduce the number of human casualties. Why?
Unless this is a Bruce Willis Christmas movie involving international criminals covering up the theft of billions in bearer bonds, then the odds are very high this was a probing attack -- a test by our enemies foreign OR domestic.
This used to be my job. Cut a critical comms node, see what effect it has on the target, how long it takes to restore, how the adversary responds. Of course, that was war.
This is either something similar, or the terrorists got incredibly lucky."*

Your job? You mean, your job was to model all this? That sounds like a very interesting way to make a living!

Rumor is the person of interest died in the blast.

He was quoting from a Facebook page someone posted. It's since been deleted.
It was a suicide, but it wasn't a "I can't take it anymore" type of suicide. More like a True Believer suicide. I tend to not think it was specifically tied into the AT&T Center, and from what I've read and seen, it didn't shut down the cities communications...Nashville's police lines were just fine, but interestingly enough it did knock out Knoxville's... The airport halted flights for 90 minutes, but there were other reasons besides telecommunications...
I tend to think that once they id the person, they will find some kind of manifesto...

I think it was Iran or North Korea testing out some equipment.
They are preparing for Mr. Biden's inauguration or maybe the Super Bowl.

Well the rumor is no longer a rumor. Looks like a single event with nothing further coming.

You don't live in the country. 89th won't make fun of you because you're a city boy, and he just let us know what he thinks of people who don't live if a city.

True.
But my 20 years of owning the Cheddarshack does give me just a bit of cred, right? After all, the closest grocery store was 12 miles away.
And...we had DSL!

The kooks are out in force. I went down a rabbit hole on twitter about the person of interest that has been identified. Many of the twitter posters seemed more fucked up than the person of interest. Of course they tied Trump to this.

Method behind the madness. Supposedly, that AT&T location was where some Dominion machines were being sent to be examined.

Somebody blows himself up in Nashville, and he isn't even the craziest thing associated with the incident.

Supposedly, the liquids used to make contrails, Coca Cola and Donald Trump's orange after-glow were all distilled there.
Don't tell me how I know. My sauces tell me.

My advice is for everyone to stay far away from this story. The level of craziness is very high on all sides. Don’t get drawn into your favorite conspiracy story as the splatter will land on you.

Sure, Loki, and how much did they just pay you to post that?
Incidentally, has anybody else noticed that Glenn Beck has developed a striking resemblance to Colonel Sanders?
Coincidence? You be the judge.
