Nashville explosion: Nothing to see here, folks ???

The story so far. Big bang rocks Nashville as Christmas Day dawns. White RV demolished near AT&T transmission building. That and 40 other buildings damaged. Power outages plague Nashville. Electronic communications disrupted across five states.

Human meatballs found inside smoldering remains of white RV. Cops/FBI/CIA posit suicide "bombing" but clueless on motive or choice of target, also fail to explain how a bomb inside an RV could do that much damage. Walt suggests another possibility. See "Some awkward questions about the Nashville explosion" (WWW 26/12/20) and "James Bond & the Electromagnetic Pulse" (WWW 27/12/20. Includes videos.)

Yesterday the authorities named Nashville resident Anthony Quinn Warner, a techie and "computer consultant" as the "bomber" who blew himself to smithereens. Why did he do it? The British Daily Mail  quotes "a source close to the investigation" as saying that Mr Warner hoped he would be "hailed a hero" for targeting AT&T because he believed 5G cellular technology was killing people. 

The less-than-esteemed tabloid paints the deceased as a member of the tinfoil hat brigade who was "heavily into conspiracy theories." Since the 5G telecommunications network was introduced, claims have been made that it's a tool to spy on Americans (Herro, Huawei!) and that it has fueled the spread of Covid-19. 

OK, let's suppose those claims are baseless (Right, Huawei?), and that Mr Huawei was indeed nutsy-kookoo to think that taking out one transmission facility would save Nashville/the country/the world. Still open is the question of how he did it. Which brings us back to the first paragraph and the possibility suggested by Walt that he used an EMP. 

EMP? Wozzat? Try to keep up please. EMP = electromagnetic pulse generator, a very powerful version of which was used in the fictional James Bond movie Golden Eye. Well...  themovie is not entirely fictional. EMPs are real, and can be purchased online for less than $200. Check out this l'il gem. 

I note that this particular model is shown as "sold out". But there are others. And of course you'd need a lot  more power than that provided by a 24-volt battery. A "computer consultant", even acting alone (???) should be able to figure out a way to tap into a gigantic power source, such as might be found in... wait for it... an AT&T transmission centre. Just a thought.
