The Tuul Crib 7,331 #1 Posted December 26, 2020 At 6:30 AM Christmas morning we were awoken with a very large explosion downtown. We heard and felt it 20 miles away. This was a deliberate act of terrorism and our city and it will never be the same again. Several buildings were structurally damaged and will have to be torn down. Most of them historic. It has knocked out communications throughout middle Tennessee including the 911 system. The RV was parked in front of the AT&T hub on 2nd Ave. downtown. Thankfully no one was killed. Except for the body parts they found on site: could've been either a homeless or the one driving the RV. We all need to think a moment about our freedom in this country. In my opinion our freedom has been compromised. God bless us all 1 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,772 #2 Posted December 26, 2020 May the good Lord heath those who were physically injured. May he also heal the emotional scars each of these attacks inflict on our country. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #3 Posted December 26, 2020 Obviously an attack but that still leaves lots of questions. If it was aimed at the cell phone system then why? Just to take out the local for a short period? Or to show that it could be done? And perhaps to others? All of them? Just a coincidence with the rumors that our President is preparing to make an announcement over the system? Or ATT& just happened to be near? Or just an independant wacko? We live in a very strange world right now and I'm not sure what to make if it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,444 #4 Posted December 26, 2020 Certainly an indication of freedom abuse.....weather by group or individual. The cost of freedom has and continues to go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #5 Posted December 26, 2020 Hard to defend! How? If it's a random isolated act then I suppose it has already ended. But if it's organized? And just the beginning... I'm glad I live pretty close to the middle of nowhere! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,312 #12 Posted December 26, 2020 Our son lives in Bowling Green, Ky. That is about 70 miles north of Nashville on I 65. He has cell service, but the 911 system and phone lines are still down in his area. The story behind this one is going to be interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 577 #18 Posted December 27, 2020 Doesn't seem to be a lot of coverage on this yet. Perhaps, because they really don't know much yet. I hope and pray it was just an isolated incident. Our prayers go out to you and yours for stress and fear it has caused. I have heard there was someone at the scene. And? subsequently perished. As bad as it may sound? Hopefully? It wasn't an innocent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
