VBED Explodes in Downtown Nashville

[San Lumen]

we don't know yet and best not to speculate.

I think I already mentioned some possible causes: pure incel attack, incel attack of racial nature and incel attack of religious nature. It is Nashville so I really doubt it is an Islamist incel attack.

Lets not speculate. All we know is it was intentional.

Stop throwing around buzzwords, please.

I say double or triple that- it knocked down a building. The color of the smoke also gives hints as to what explosive was used- I don't think it's fertilizer based.

That's the big thing to focus on currently. Someone who can pull this off once can do it again, especially if they're not using controlled materials like bulk fertilizers.

Officials were saying earlier that multiple devices may be at play here.

Well it was on Christmas- we don't know why; and I don't think it's a good idea to just start pointing fingers without additional evidence, but that's pretty telling.

Well do you think the suspicious vehicle call near the AT&T building had anything to do with it? It kind of sounds like a classic attack where a call is made to lure first responders in then a second vehicle parked near by is then detonated.

First responders should NOT enter the area until a bomb squad has cleared it.

That’s why they are evacuating downtown Nashville

Considering its christmas i think its might be an islamist incident

Not everyone who does something bad is an incel.

And what does it being Nashville mean it can’t possibly have been a radical Islamist?

I guess its because there arent many muslims there.

I think he needs to be reminded that long distance driving is a thing

How many Muslims even exist around Nashville at all? Does it have a history of Islamist attacks? Is there anything that makes Islamists particularly angry about Nashville?

I wouldn't rule it since in 2009 some Islamic extremists idiot tried to bring down a plane on Christmas in Detroit.

My guess is that this isn’t the first bomb. If this isn’t fertilizers then we might have another bomb somewhere in the city. This might have been just a distraction for more

Driving is a thing. If its an islamist attack it'll be by someone from another state (or country even) most likely.

I'm like 95% certain this isn't fertilizers because the smoke isn't yellowish-brown. If so, then they need to completely lock down or evacuate the downtown core.

Evacuation of the downtown area is underway according to officials

plus the blast damage isn't greater since ammonium nitrate explosives pack a hell of a punch. So I'm thinking it could be black powder or plastic explosives maybe even TNT

Nashville’s metropolitan area has a population of 2 million people, it going to have Muslims living there.

Yes, that is true. That being said, can we not point fingers at one distinct group of people or the other until we have more info?

According to Wikipedia around 1% of the population is Muslim.

Possibly TATP? I know that's volatile as shit, but that's a possibility.

Heres a link to the fireball. It’s pretty damn big

I’m not, I’m just saying that we shouldn’t exclude anyone either, especially not based on stereotypes.

The South has problems, but it’s a part of 1st world and as such it’s metro areas are going to have the same diversity that those form the rest of the world do.

Holy shit. That thing reached more than half-way up the AT&T building. Definitely high explosives at play here.

I was thinking what about PETN learned about it while in the TSA for a couple of years.
