AT&T has confirmed that one of its facilities was damaged in what authorities call an “intentional” blast in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, amid reports of mass communications outages and 911 services down across multiple states.
Mars (heat, destructiveness) square Pluto (explosive, destruction (blast in downtown Nashville)) opposite Zeus (combustion, fuels, fire). Mercury (communications outages)) trine Uranus (telephone exchange network equipment, affected by the explosion).
The telecom giant declined to say how widespread outages were, but confirmed that one of its buildings, housing telephone exchange network equipment, was “affected” by the explosion, causing “some” service interruptions.
Multiple law enforcement agencies across Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama reported their 911 systems were down following the blast, including Murfreesboro, Knox County, Muscle Shoals, and Madison County, according to local media.
The telecommunications issues in the aftermath of the blast also forced the Federal Aviation Administration to temporarily halt flights out of Nashville International Airport.
While police said the blast was clearly “intentional,” it remains unclear whether it specifically targeted the AT&T infrastructure. Besides damaging one of the company’s tech facilities, the explosion also happened just about a block away from AT&T tower Nashville, colloquially known as the Batman Building.
The explosion rocked Nashville on Christmas morning, around 6:30am local time. The blast was apparently preceded by a chilling pre-recorded message through loudspeaker that counted down to zero, while warning anyone in earshot to “evacuate now.”
