(7,895 posts)Nashville Police and Fire are reporting this as an intentional explosion of an RV size vehicle. This is far more damage than a gas tank or propane bottle. There are some buildings which sustained far more damage bordering on collapse. widespread damage is being reported in the area. The statements about windows broken rather understates the force and scale of the explosion. The photos show windows and doors ripped from their mountings, not merely cracked or shattered.
If you will recall recently there was a white terrorist plot to attack power stations on New Year's Day exposed in an un-intentional reveal of sealed investigation documents. This attack seems in line with that tactic and very typical of what such groups might get up to including means of delivery and location, especially in emulating McVeigh.
