By now I'm sure everyone is aware of the Explosion in Nashville on Christmas Day morning. The event is unique because the it originated from a parked RV which played recorded messages over loudspeakers for 30 minutes prior to the explosion.

From what I've gathered so far:

- The RV showed up around 1:00am on Christmas morning based on traffic camera footage released by police.
- It parked in front of an AT&T switching / data center in a touristy area of Nashville, which was thankfully deserted on Christmas morning.
- Early in the morning the RV played a recording of automatic gunfire, the gunfire recording repeated at least 3 times. As reported by a woman who lived across the street and called the police.
- Following the recording of gunfire a recording played in a man's voice stating "This vehicle will explode in 15 minutes." Then played over and over as a count down. The woman left with her family at T-11 minutes.
- Other eyewitnesses and a video posted on Twitter show the recording switching to "This area must be evacuated now. If you can hear this message, evacuate now."
- The RV then exploded causing widespread damage to buildings and the area.
- Nashville police report the finding of human remains.

The recording was clearly designed to attract police attention and move people away from the area. Was it simply an elaborate suicide? A diversion tactic? An attempt to take out regional communications?

AT&T internet, and 911 services were disrupted for much of the day across several immediate states. Airtraffic at Nashville airport was shutdown due to connectivity issues for flight control infrastructure.

I think by now law enforcement is assuming this was a crazy depressed person with a lot of time on their hands who wanted to blow themselves up. They put a lot of effort into making sure no one was hurt, but did cause a lot of property damage.

This guy and the Killdozer guy are probably enjoying themselves in the afterlife.

It's interesting. I'm a member of the FBI's Infragard program, and we receive unclassified reports when terrorist cases are wrapped up (among other things). I don't recall seeing anything come through that indicated that they had found a motive for the Nashville bomber, other than speculation about them being 5G conspiracy theorists. That doesn't pass the smell test for me, but who knows if we'll ever find out.
