          @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.

                    I was only joking

                      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.

                                  "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."*

                                      Raid going on for a person of interest - will be interesting to learn a bit more. I have to think that they'll go in heavy on something like this - and some risk of an adverse outcome for those entering a place where a bomb or bombs have been made.

                                        No, it's not. This was very deliberate, well planned and financed. It had a specific goal, most likely connected to the AT&T center.

                                          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.
