Why would someone, group or organization blow up an

AT&T data hub on Christmas morning in Nashville? Maybe to destroy what might be stored there? It does sound fishy to me.

as they are owned by AT&T now. Beginning of the long-awaited media blackout we've been told was coming?

I am sure it was to destroy what ever was on those servers. The federal government might have done it as far as we know.

That was their main data hub. I don't know the answer the your question.

I was going off what I read that it was a data hub. You might know something different. The article you posted did not say either way.

The words I posted are directly from the article c/p'd, according to AT&T officials:
"the central office for a telephone exchange full of network equipment"
It did knock out several area 911 systems and other telecommunications, so not saying it wasn't targeted specifically, it's just not a main data hub. Two entirely different sets of equipment, apparatus, and functions.

I any not sure either way. They did not target AT&T main building in Nashville but a smaller building several blocks away. It would make sense to me they were targeting something in that building I guess we will never know tho.

Lemme help.....

long background in telecom and live here so familiar with the infrastructure....
The building they hit is not the big batman building, which is the AT&T office building. It hit a much more obscure building a block or two away, that houses most of the routing and switching equipment for a large portion of their regional network.
It's taken down everything from Internet, to landlines, to cell coverage for a good portion of the state, extending to TN and AL. I'm actually surprised they don't have a little more diversity and resiliency built into the local ring, given the propensity of this area for tornado disasters and flooding from the very nearby Cumberland River.
There was some colo space in the building with some large and sensitive customers in there, but it was not a Tier 3 data center.

Thanks for the info. I am just trying to make sense of why they did what they did. It might have been a test to see how it would disrupt communication. I have no idea. I like to play detective, so what would you think the reason for the bomb was in Nashville?

One of two things imho
Dec 26, 2020, 6:00 PM
|

Most likely, disgruntled ex-employee, prob a switch tech with military background. Having worked at AT&T, they treat people like complete sheeit, and maybe they just fired the wrong guy a month or two before Christmas. He knew where to hit them.
Secondarily, a distraction for a crime elsewhere that was aided by the infrastructure, 911, etc going down. Not sure why the guy should have killed himself in a planned crime like this though.

I wouldn't be so sure about never knowing. Our FBI has an excellent track record of tracking down perpetrators of domestic terrorism and establishing and verifying motive.

Three instances in 25 years then if you include the Idaho family (tragic). I suspect the full details of this episode will come to light soon enough as they most always do.

you can’t find anything credible on Vegas shooter. It strikes me as very odd that it just went away. I mean the news cycles, but that was a huge domestic terror event. It wasn’t some redneck dudes who were planning to capture a Governor, which stayed in the cycle much longer.
Very odd and I feel this will turn out the same.
I hope when we die, there is a huge book (hopefully in Heaven) that tells us everything that happened. Especially if we went to the moon, who killed JFK and of there are Yeti’s or Sasquatch.

Who ever did this was not some Yahoo. They had a specific target. This was a sophisticated bomb. They could have put enough high explosives in that size of vehicle to level a city block. The bomb was targeting something inside the AT&T building and not level it. I want to know why and who.

An empty commercial building expecting minimal loss of life
Dec 26, 2020, 3:48 PM
|

on Christmas Day in the Morning sure does speak message along with mayhem. Taking out a significant communications hub in the process is certainly not without intent in the planning and process behind this. Hard to imagine this as the work of a lone wolf.

I agree. This was planned and carried out. If you wanted the building to come down then just pack the vehicle full and set it off. This was not the same amount of explosive that was used in Okl. city and maybe not the same type. I think it was designed to do what it did.

not likely. Very sparse part of downtown and quiet time

Of morning, and a warning to boot.
If loss of life were the goal, there were many, many other options and times this could have been done.

Anyone who has ever had an AT&T cell plan can...
Dec 26, 2020, 6:09 PM

understand. I'll be honest, after a couple years of the Russian Collusion hoax I'm apt to jump to any conclusion but I'm gonna need something more than speculation to relate this to anything other than a really unhappy employee or customer. I might could believe it's about the lockdown and some one losing their entire life's worth because some progressive, one horse pony, mayor wants to play Castro.
I don't have any reason to think this related to the election.

Me either but why damage an ATT building? I doubt we will ever find out the truth because I don't trust the FBI to ever tell us the truth any more.
