"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."*

It ain't luck.

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

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...

@lufins-dad agreed, probably some looney/paranoid old white dude with a beard who lived in the country

Rumor is the person of interest died in the blast.
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.

The kooks are out in force.
Method behind the madness. Supposedly, that AT&T location was where some Dominion machines were being sent to be examined.
