People are saying that it was a sever farm for AT&T I think.

Whoever it was, they wanted to make a statement instead of hurt people. They picked early in the morning, when nearby business are closed. They made an evacuation announcement for several minutes. It will take some time, but I wouldn't be surprised if law enforcement finds or receives a message later from someone taking responsibility or supporting a cause. Too much work went into this to remain a mystery and not wanting to hurt anyone.

I saw an eye witness on FOX that stated definitively that he heard shots fired, which would draw LEOs in and not necessitate a call to 911 thereby leaving evidence. Also to your point the announcement to evacuate would not necessarily have LEOs going the other way, on the contrary they are paid to go towards trouble.

An RV Parked in front of the AT&T bldg. There is a broadcast that a bomb will go off in 15 minutes. The bomb does go off with alot of damage. Yet this explosion is at 620am on Christmas, few to no people are around.

This is baffling. The authorities have there work cut out finding out the why to this tragedy.

I wonder was this terror scheduled to be much worse. Perhaps scheduled for later, and a malfunction caused things to happen to early.

Whatever this sick act is all about, I hope those responsible are caught and fast.

The target wasn't people or a government building, so please, some of you think hard about your hawt taeks before you post them.

That doesn't mean this wasn't some form of terrorism, just that it's unlikely whatever your stupid theory is.

My attention is on the AT&T building and the telecom disruption this created, including area 911 systems.

AT&T phone service is out. I'm in western Kentucky and have no cell service. Saw Facebook posts from friends in Lexington and quite a few other cities without cell too. 911 out in a lot of places.

Could have been anyone. I firmly believe everyone crazy even myself.

I wonder if more attacks are on the horizon? You got NYE in NYC.

You would be guessing wrong.
