In reply to the discussion: I'll relate this story without specific locations: [View all]BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)27. I saw an embedded video of an IP camera view of the street when the explosion happened
that was posted on Youtube (various outlets are apparently circulating this now - found it on The Tennesean) -
You can't see any RV in this fish eye camera recording but you can see that the camera is located across from what is apparently a multi-story parking garage (with a Sbarro's on the 1st floor), which is visible in the 2nd (explosion aftermath) pic at to far end of the pic, and the explosion flash in the video appears to come from the right side of the video image (where every damn car parked in that garage had their car alarms go off with that blast). There is a "154" address in the video image so I believe this camera may have been located at what appears to be the saloon "Coyote Ugly" about 1/2 a block from the explosion.
Locating the Spaghetti Factory in the 1st pic, I believe that is from a (generic) view looking along the same street but from the other end, where the garage seen in the 2nd pic (and in the video) is behind you. I.e., both the Spaghetti Factory and the Melting Pot restaurants were almost directly across from the AT&T building.
As a note, the Google street view image associated with that 1st pic was dated July 2019, so not the most recent image for that street (I was just looking at street view for that area and saw that same parked red truck).
