It appears a VBIED detonated in downtown Nashville this morning, causing extensive damage. Police had already been called when the RV exploded & authorities are treating it as ”intentional”. FBI & EOD at the scene
Horrifying footage taken in the immediate aftermath of this morning's VBIED detonation in Nashville. Widespread destruction & screams. Originally filmed by 'Buck Mccoy'/FB
Here are some overhead shots by helicopters of the scene of this morning's VBIED detonation in Nashville. Quite a powerful device that resulted in a lot of destruction. I upped the brightness slightly.
This just a got a lot weirder. When police got to the scene before the VBIED detonated, a loudspeaker on the RV started playing messages on repeat, telling people to evacuate and that it would explode in 15 minutes. It can partly be heard in this video, just before the blast
Here's a picture taken from helicopter footage showing the extensive damage on some of the buildings as a result of this mornings VBIED detonation in Nashville. One looks at least partially collapsed
Here's relatively clear footage showing the detonation of this morning's VBIED detonation in Nashville. It appears as if the blast targeted an AT&T building, damaging network equipment & disrupting emergency services/halting flights
By comparing footage of the blast with aerial shots, it's clear that yesterday's VBIED in Nashville was parked directly outside the entrance to the AT&T comms building, and was not targeting the civilian buildings on the other side of the street.
FBI believes person of interest, 63 y.o 'Anthony Q. Warren' died in the blast, making it the first suicide car bombing on U.S. soil since 1927. He was allegedly motivated by 5G conspiracy theories to attack AT&T. Some more aftermath shots of the scene of the blast:
Here's a different angle of the Christmas Day SVBIED in Nashville detonating. It's from a surveillance camera some distance away, but it clearly captures the fireball, smoke plume & sound.
