    Pre recorded audio warning prior to detonation. Miracle nobody was killed. Discuss.

    It was a exhibition. "This is what we can do, next will be worse. Give us $$$".

    People really are assholes.

    How about wait for information before discussing? There's been too much internet speculation with previous incidents pointing fingers at innocent people who get to have their lives fucked up. Or am I dreaming?

    Should’ve just started a call out thread on TGR.

    Understandable.

    Years ago I was working on a commercial for AT&T and the gag involved shooting down the rows of the switching equipment in one of those big concrete buildings. They needed shiny black floors to make the shot look good and we installed miles of temporary black laminate flooring throughout the place. Worked our asses off, it looked great, everyone was happy. As the day progressed one of the building engineer dudes came across us and he noticed a pair of wire cutters in my tool belt (typical). He turned white and said "You're not allowed to have those in here!".

    I guess if i was mad at some bills I coulda really fucked some shit up.

    Must have something to do with the poor reception Trump's attempts to overthrow democracy have gotten lately.

    the details on this are bizarre... a prerecorded countdown to the explosion with musical accompaniment? somebody has been watching to many Joker movies.


    i was wondering how the cops knew to start evacuation people.

    It's a weird one for sure. Very premature to speculate who or why, given that there's no objective that's apparent from the setting. AT&T? seems more likely that that's just a place where people work; I doubt it was a network infrastructure hub. I could see it being a corporate hit if it was, I don't know, Comcast. What else was there, a Hooters? That place was probably on its way out without a bomb. Also, the 30 minute recorded, amplified, continuous warning. If they're trying to keep people from getting hurt, as a demo or just out of nihilistic boredom, why do it where there are lots of people living there to begin with?

    It was clearly put there to blast that AT&T building off. The funny thing is, the automated voice who warned about the timebomb isn't true about the countdown.

    Was it like a woman's monotone voice saying, "The number you have called is no longer in service..."?

    Maybe they are just sick of a corrupted society.

    I guess I am interested in the why of it. I would be curious about the placement related to AT&T. Was this just a location of convince or was it strategic insider knowledge? Not all CO's are created equal. And really the only way to really shut one down is a few stories underground.
    I don't know if we will ever get the scoop on this. Unless it's a group of idiots without a clue.
