Disgruntled Hooters worker.

flat chested terrorist

Perhaps?

It can't just be random

The placement has to be sending a message?@Doc

I dont believe you do that at a random place, no.

The shots + warning serves a purpose as well.

attract cops and warn civis?

The shots were to make everybody get out get away

I mean who knows how to rig up something on an RV that says get away get away now it's an explosion

could be, the IRA used to to that from time to time.

Trump family should be monarchs

@obokima, you just advanced to level 3!

I used to have a horn on my PA

It's somebody that knows low voltage electrical work.

and an AUX line

Or an engineer

Or just a lot of people

or just buy it.

Where do you get something with a woman's voice that says get away there's a bomb..

The great thing about the internet is to research how to perform bombings

That can't be an off-the-shelf item can it?@busillis

😄

Did you hear the video with that announcement?@Doc

Im not a computer guy

yes

I thought that was kind of weird

I can find a video of a mans voice saying there is an incoming north korean missile.

Im sure you can find someone saying something about a b*mb?

or the speech for text thingeys?

Well if the woman's voice isn't generated by a computer then look for The voice.

I dont know what "the voice" is.

I know I know you don't I'm just saying

I wish people didn't do s*** like this

I guess.

Or maybe you have hands on experience.

It is sad that it happened. Bomb experts hopefully find a known signature

Isn’t Nashville a relatively insignificant city for a terrorists of any kind to target

@busillis yes the att building, inconvenienced people in the local area so what?

well, consider it is christmas. If you cant call Uncle Bob, he might show up.

@james j

@busillis local area, also xfinity is also very prominent there

Actually the other building you showed first is a data center so any companies that had any software code located in that data center might have been cut off as well

So in other words if XYZ company had infrastructure co-located in that large data center they would have been SOL had the attack been successful

They didn’t park close enough

They didn't have enough explosives...

like I said earlier to take one of those old buildings you would have to basically fortify it from the inside out structurally speaking..

Typically when you have a brick building like that that's old school the brick itself is like two foot thick.. and then on the inside you would reinforce it with like concrete columns and steel that ties it all together.

It look like from some of that footage all that really happened was it broke up the sidewalk and put a hole in the wall

I’m not buying the att building being the target

I mean what do you think they were targeting?

Data centers are built like government facilities because they are government facilities.

So you think they were going after the Hooters?

I think they just wanted to blow something up .

That's implicit in the activity itself

Nothing in particular

It's very bizarre that a recording warned people to get away from the bomb.

@james j I'm thinking it was someone who got laid off from AT&t or early retired from AT&t.

They drove up there and killed themselves in the RV.

And they were intending to put a big dent into AT&t's infrastructure...

Nah

So you think someone randomly decided to explode a device they created and just happened to park it in front of the AT&t building?

If the aim was to inconvenience the general local population for a few days he succeeded . That typically isn’t the motivation for a bombing. Usually more existential

Do we know anything about Brazil

If it was successful it would do a lot more than inconvenience the locals for a few days..

You're talking about no 911.

All government facilities in the area no data communication.

The city isn’t wholly dependent on att

Everything runs off of AT&t lines.

AT&t owns in Lisa's all of the infrastructure and the data Network.

It doesn't matter if you get the stuff from XYZ provider the lines are still AT&t's lines.

They already have back ups in place for communication

You're dreaming.

You just don't know buddy.

This wasn’t a terrorist attack with any real motive

Not att related

I don't think it was either.

@james j ???

You don't understand how telecommunications works...

Ah yes, I'm just going to go make myself explode.

For no reason.

In the middle of the city.

@Maw all I’m saying is that att was not a target

Google's building out its own fiber infrastructure in Nashville.

Google was already implicated earlier

I'm not implicating Google...

Well someone should

Brazil is suspect

One of facebooks founders is from Brazil

Like, literally saying that he had no MO is literally a conspiracy theory.

im telling you, this was about breasts!

To insinuate that someone went through all this trouble to do this, this particular way, for no reason, is a conspiracy theory.

No im just saying there is no reason to think this was a attack on att @Maw

its an incel-attack

No they completely missed hooters

Exploding a vehicle next to the AT&T is not evidence of intentionally targeting AT&T.

They can be up and running in two days

@Maw right , there is no reason to think that

> blows up vehicle in WTC's parking lot
> James: It's not clear he was targeting the WTC.

That is a known target of angst for decades @Maw

"Its not clear we were attacking Nagasaki" - USAF strategic command

Also more direct attack

Nagasaki was planned

And they bombed pear harbor

Running your RV into a brick wall surprisingly doesn't get you into the building most of the time.

Lowest effort attack on att if you don’t ram your truck into the intended target

RVS ARE MADE OF PRIMARILY WOOD JAMES

All we know for sure is that a rv blew up downtown

If the telecommunication system breaks everything breaks..@james j

Rvs are poorly structured

There is no banking

There's no logistics

YES

@busillis locally

But what is locally

Who cares about Nashville

so its anti-country music?

aaah!

Hooters + Nashville.

Its an attack on dolly parton

It’s not a high profile target

@james j I what is a high profile Target?

A node and a greater Data Network???

A place of cultural significance

If you take out two of those nodes it's lights out for half the country babe.

I wonder if the Amish could ram that building?

Everything else of tangible significance is pretty well secure

No @busillis

You don't know.

I know

And you're just wrong about this.

So describe to me how the internet gets to your house in a town?

Depends on where you live

Look at the pictures I put above of that building when it used to have microwave transceiver dishes on it.

That was how all long distance communication came into the area.

Insignificant area

In the areas half the f****** state if not more

maybe it was a premature detonation?

Tennessee is mainly empty

it *was* an incel...

Think country wide

And globally

???!

James, literally where are you going?

Burridans Bisexual Paradox.

All I’m saying is that there is no reason to think att was a target

That's funny because I drove all the way from Chattanooga to Memphis on state roads parallel with the corresponding interstate... And at the beginning of the week

And there are tons of people that don't like...

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE SAID.

Basically it's deplorable country

@Maw edited

And that's chock full of deplorables.

You guys need to think like a guy they just wants to blow something up while not killing anyone.

except you know, exploding literally parked next to the AT&T building.

ah yes

not a target.

Clearly not a Target...

just randomly exploding in the middle of the road.

this is fine.

He didn't even park on the side of the road with the Brazilian restaurant.

😄

Somebody synthesized a significant amount of explosives and created the primary explosives to detonate the aforementioned explosives.

They did this at great risk.

You think it's random?

That's literally a nutty concept

Look empty restaurants (that downtown don’t usually open till lunch time) to the left and a sturdy brick building that isn’t a apartment complex to the right. Low risk of hurting someone Christmas Day

You guys are not looking for the simplest explanation first

James.

So what is it,

He had a warning system to evacuate.

Right he wanted to minimize killing someone

He picked a time and waited until there was as little people as possible.

That was top priority for him

He shot a gun multiple times (most likely) to wake people up.

Thus he also picked a spot that would aide in that goal

Why do you think that is James?

WHY NOT BLOW UP IN A FIELD JAMES?

They were speculating on those newscasts that the gunshots were on the recording or on the computerized whatever..

Why circle the area for 4 hours.

Because a street is more dramatic

Maximize drama without killing someone

Then why not blow up next to a concert?

To make sure the streets are as empty as possible

Because that’s high risk of hurting someone

One of his primary goals was to make sure no one got hurt

I mean, you could blow up next to a concert without hurting people.

Thats too risky . Early in the day people will be around

That would be a lot more dramatic if there was thousands of people around...

He didnt want to hurt anyone @busillis

How do you terrorize people without hurting them?

Minimize that risk as much as possible

So the next time you're near an RV and it says get away this is a bomb everybody runs away?

@busillis that’s difficult with a bomb

@busillis I use a train horn on my Chevy for exactly that.

Man it's like there would have been an area here with a better effect for "drama"

And not hurting people.

I feel like I should have an RV with a megaphone now. Make people get out of the left lane.

@busillis absolutely get away from a out of place rv that says it is going to explode

So the point was to make news, start an fbi investigation, not harm anyone and warn everyone what will happen, so that he could potentially show how weak our data, internet, electric infrastructure is?

@james j https://youtu.be/y4rLs_itz_U

@Maw not if your top priority is to not hurt anyone and cause actual destruction of objects

@busillis interesting video

That was for doc...

Sure...

There is literally an empty parking garage.

Where he was.

Try again.

Environmentalist love Coal-Rolling

@Livingstone it was most likely all that except for the showing how vulnerable our data is. All things considered it did pretty good against a bomb

@Maw empty space will not destroy buildings and cause drama

So AT&t didn't factor into this at all? @james j

do you not know what a parking garage is?

You understand the dramatic effect of taking out a block right @Maw ?

It's not a lot.

It's a parking structure.

He should have just gone out to the local landfill

A street is dramatic , a open field is not

James, a parking garage explosion is pretty dramatic.

Behind Walmart

@Maw you all are funny. BTW most if not all parking garages won't have the height clearance for an RV.

He could have put the explosives in another type of vehicle.

Good so he caused some structural damage to building on both the right and left of a open street. A parking garage is not a wide spread as a open street people walk on everyday. The aesthetic of taking out a street is visually much more dramatic that a Parking garage @Maw

Sorry I meant she could have.

James. Explosions that happen above are far more devastating than those that happen on ground level.

This is why you have air-bombs.

@Doc @Maw @Zuluzeit thanks for the Christmas Night Entertainment!

@Maw that assumes he thought that far ahead or even knew about that. He just wanted to blow up a street

So he did

And did his best not to hurt anyone

ah yes. not thinking ahead, with a ton of explosives that he had to gather together and set up in a way to explode.

ah yes not thinking ahead with an intercom system.

That’s basic arithmetic for a guy looking to blow stuff up

Thinking ahead in terms of an Ariel bomb

@james j where did the explosives come from?

Like I said they guy has two goals. Blow up a street for the aesthetics and minimize any harm to people

ah yes.

@busillis he made them

Where did the RV come from @james j
