Christmas morning explosion in Nashville, Tennessee

Footage shows the blast came from the other side of the suv so not the truck itself. The suv was a placement target for the missle and/or could have brought a team in that placed the bomb underground.

WATCH: Bodycam Footage Shows Shocking Moments Before And After Nashville Blast

Newly released bodycam footage, taken from one of the officers was on scene at the Nashville, Tennessee, Christmas bombing site shows the harrowing moments before and after the blast rocked the city.

The footage, which begins shortly after the first officer arrived on the scene at around 6:15 am Christmas morning, shows Nashville police trying to evacuate stragglers who aren’t heeding an evacuation message and a bomb threat being broadcast from an RV parked on the street.“ The footage begins at 6:14 a.m., where [Officer Michael] Sipos and two other officers ask someone to evacuate from outside Dick’s Last Resort at 154 Second Avenue,” the Tennessean reports. “Then, the footage skips to 6:25 a.m., as Sipos and a female officer are walking up Second Avenue and passing the RV that would eventually explode. ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ is being drowned out by the RV’s warning to evacuate.”

“That’s so weird,” Sipos can be heard saying on the video in reference to the RV. “That’s like some s*** out of a movie.”

“Minutes later, after walking about a block away from the RV, Sipos is attempting to open the trunk of his police vehicle when the explosion takes place,” the Tennessean notes.

The following footage shows Sipos and other officers running toward the scene of the explosion, encountering a number of stunned people wandering around Second Avenue, clearly recovering from the blast and a crater where the RV has been just minutes before. Car alarms wail in the background.

Sipos’ bodycam footage tracks with Officer James Wells’ account of the bombing given to local media over the weekend. Wells was also one of the first officers on the scene; he was called to a report of shots fired but when he arrived at the site of the 911 call, he found the RV broadcasting its bizarre message.

Welles, Sipos, and four other officers quickly sprang into action, clearing residences and businesses within earshot of the RV. After the explosion, the six officers provided emergency aid to people who did not evacuate in time. Although the blast devastated dozens of downtown Nashville businesses, just three people were injured. Only the bomber himself is believed to have died in the blast.

Officer James Luellen, another of the responding Nashville police officials, also related his story to local media.

“Initially, I didn’t hear any shots fired,” Luellen said Sunday. “We were told shots were coming from inside the building at 178 Second Avenue North.”

“I checked the bottom floor,” he continued. “ couldn’t see anything, couldn’t hear anything.” While waiting on a code to get in the building, officer Breanna Hosey arrived on scene, and ‘almost immediately’ the RV starting making an announcement: there is a large bomb in this vehicle.”

The RV continued with its announcement at regular intervals, then played Petula Clark’s “Downtown,” and began a final countdown to the blast.

The FBI believes it has positively identified the bomber
, though the agency has yet to release information about a possible motive. Sources close to the investigation have said the agency is exploring several different options, including that the bomber may have believed conspiracy theories about 5G wireless communication systems.
Interesting that as the officers walk up the street, the RV can be seen parked on the opposite side. Were the officers not checking to see if vehicles were occupied - particularly the RV - since their job was to ensure people were evacuated from the area? Wouldn't they have noticed a person sitting in the RV, especially if wearing a white cap as appeared elsewhere in blurry pics? They certainly didn't react as if the RV was the source of the repeating evacuation announcement. The one officer was aware of the AT&T building - "PO 1: "this is the section that holds all the hard lines for phones throughout the South East" PO 2: "makes sense. good spot to put a bomb" - and also commented that the scene was like from The Purge (I've never watched it but was aware of it). Those officer quotes are from comments which also include denoting a flash overhead spoken in the audio. Additionally, that a van was the target involving the flash. Shortly before the explosion, a repeating cuckoo can be heard - part of the warning broadcast that time was up?

Footage after the explosion was mostly away from the area of detonation, but it almost looked like the fire trucks were not going to where the fire was, but were staying a street away. Perhaps the fire was being allowed to burn in order to ensure destruction of the contents in the AT&T building. It also seemed odd that the other street the officer was on, the one building had plywood sheets over the windows along the sidewalk - some had come loose from the blast. There was concern about ammunition being in cars - perhaps that was keeping the firefighters away?

The bolded parts highlight the official narrative being propagated to convince everyone that this was just another lone nut who committed suicide in a terrorist bomb attack and although obviously mental, was considerate enough to broadcast a warning before blowing the area to smithereens. Nice that it was jazzed up a bit with the addition of "Downtown" as an ironic musical symbol of his terrorist act. Kudos for extra CIA/FBI creativity this time? I'm still waiting for the pristine passport to show up or some damning book or pamphlets from the RV all but proving the guy's guilt. :rolleyes: Wonder how long Tony was targeted to be the patsy or how he got involved in the first place. Doesn't pay to be a loner I guess.
 
The Nashville bomber situation reeks.

Why aren't law enforcement officials telling you he owns property under an alias name with a different middle initial in New York?

Anthony (Tony) J. Warner is his alias name.

I ran a background check on him and his dealings and this guy is all over the place.

For a self-employed IT person doing basic subcontracting work, he had an amazing portfolio of property and names.
Why is the public being kept in the dark?


186 Marlboro Country Rd
Hartford, NY 12838 is his NY address according to background searches.

So, why are you being kept in the dark?

What else might there be under the surface and just who is this person really?

Let's keep digging, and see what we find.

 
Here you go. What else can we expect?

Days before blowing himself up, the Nashville Christmas bomber penned lengthy messages to “acquaintances” speaking of “alien attacks,” a faked moon landing and DNA experiments by “lizard people,” among other conspiracy theories.
The man identified as the main suspect behind the bombing, 63-year-old Anthony Warner, mailed the strange missives to several people he knew before carrying out the attack late last month, federal investigators said. One of the letters, sent with a package containing multiple USB drives, went on for at least nine pages and apparently detailed Warner’s beliefs, according to a Nashville CBS affiliate.
The cover page begins casually – “Hey Dude. You will never believe what I found in the park” – but soon takes on a more esoteric tone:
The knowledge I have gained is immeasurable. I now understand everything, and I mean everything from who/what we really are, to what the known universe really is.

Repeatedly referring to the importance of “perception,” Warner wrote that “everything is an illusion” and that “there is no such thing as death.” He also relayed a number of claims common among online conspiracy communities, including theories about the September 11 attacks and the Apollo 11 moon landing, saying both events “have so many anomalies they are hard to count.”
The letter, postmarked December 23, becomes even stranger when it goes on to claim that an alien race has been launching attacks on Earth since 2011, a year Warner said “was supposed to be the end game for the planet,” and that the media has covered up the ongoing invasion. “Reptilians” or “lizard people” also factored into the plot, with Warner alleging the beings seek to “control” mankind and have “tweaked human DNA” for that purpose.
[The reptilians] put a switch into the human brain so they could walk among us and appear human.

Though the letter includes a wide range of eccentric views, it does not shed light on why Warner might have selected an AT&T data transmission center as his target, making no mention of the company or anything else that might suggest a motive in the bombing, which devastated a city block in downtown Nashville and temporarily crippled phone service across Tennessee and parts of Kentucky and Alabama.
The FBI, which reportedly probed whether Warner was motivated by “paranoia about 5G technology” last month, has since confirmed that the bomber mailed out packages before the Christmas Day blast, but did not provide details on their contents.
“We're aware the suspect sent materials which espoused his viewpoints to several acquaintances throughout the country,” FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said in a statement to media outlets, calling on anybody who received one of the parcels to contact the bureau.

While the letter offers little on the question of motive, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake told reporters on Monday that Warner held anti-police and anti-government views, possibly hinting at a rationale for the attack.
Drake was also questioned about an incident report filed in 2019 involving Warner’s then-girlfriend, who told police he was building bombs in his RV and said she wanted to turn in weapons belonging to Warner. A report was taken by officers, however Drake said there was little they could do at the time.
There was an expectation of privacy... officers went there several times, they knocked on the door,” Drake said. “They turned it over to special investigations detectives... it all came back negative.”
We could not enter his house without probable cause. [The officers] did everything they could.
Warner himself is the only known fatality in the bombing and authorities believe he acted alone in detonating his recreational vehicle on Nashville’s Second Avenue. He was identified by the RV’s ID number and DNA found at the scene of the blast, which in addition to killing Warner left some 45 buildings damaged, three of which now face immediate demolition, Drake said.
Poor police did everything they can but it came back negative in 2019. Probably, they will change the rules so that police can enter any house without a probable cause. Probably with a black bag on the head as a sign of extra care.
