          You have to think they did not want loss of life, which would indicate a message of some sort.

              Police said that the RV looked "suspicious" and they were telling people to clear the area before the explosion. They also commented that these types of events always leave lots of forensic evidence. FBI is taking the lead.

                Apparently no word yet on who or why

                cnn says Nashville police say there were "announcements broadcasting from the vehicle" prior to the explosion

                  Feels weird, the one time I visited Nashville I stayed right on that block. Makes the video feel “more real” to me.

                    6:30 AM? Makes you wonder if they meant to have it set for PM. Probably many more people would have been there at 6:30 PM.

                      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.
