The mayor of Nashville laughed about the explosion today saying it would be the only one today.

In Nashville we have a tyrant as a Mayor @JohnCooper4Nash is now laughing, possibly another explosion/bomb today. It’s disgusting he would think this is a joke. He’s destroying our economy, and owns construction businesses here?!?! #nashvilleexplosion #nashvillebomb pic.twitter.com/QlETmnC9Gb

Original Story:

This video footage, complete with audio, shows that whoever planted the bomb this morning in Nashville setup a recording on a loudspeaker telling people to evacuate before, and up to, the moment of explosion.

The explosion is believed to have originated in a parked RV on 2nd Street in downtown Nashville, TN at 6:40 AM on Christmas morning, December 25, 2020. This story is still developing.
