Sounds like it was intentional- I’ve seen reports that an announcement was made from the RV to evacuate before the explosion. That, combined with it happening today makes it seem like they didn’t want to kill people, maybe just destroy a building/business?
Still, three injured. I hope they recover. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

You, at least, paid some attention. The various news outlets persisted (at least through even last night) that it "may" have been intentional. After all, it only announced is was going to explode and everyone should run away. I mean WTF? Are the writers getting that stupid?
As for its intent - one may be pretty sure the intent was to make some sort of statement (although what statement has yet to be seen) because:
1 - it was set off at a time when few would be around
2 - on a day when that few would likely be none
3 - and they called in "shots fired" to get the police there immediately
4 - who, upon hearing the message, cleared everyone they could away.
5 - and, considering the size of the RV, they could have blown those buildings away. It had enough room to meet or exceed the Oklahoma City bombing.
Three injured and some human remains. They're looking into the idea of a suicide bomber.

It's appearing that AT&T was the target. I don't live in Tennessee but my understanding is that AT&T down there makes all other telecom providers look good.

They are now reporting it was a suicide. I guess the guy wanted his .0037 microseconds of fame.
There is no situation so bad that suicide is called for.

Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Six."
Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven!"
Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!"
Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"

A farmer has a herd of one hundred cattle. When slaughtered, each cattle provides two sides of beef. If the farmer slaughters one cattle each week, how many cattle will remain after he has produced one-hundred-and-twenty sides of beef?

Depends when he wises up and buys a bull ...

Assume the herd is roughly 50% bulls and 50% cows.

All it takes is one bull: the gestation period of a cow is ~40 weeks, so if he starts by turning all but one of the bulls into steaks, it could go on for ever ...

Isn't that rather canabalistic given your avatar?

Well, it's not like that's a self-portrait. That's based on a photo of a bull at a county fair (L.A.?). He was probably the first against the wall when the fair closed.

We planned to have a Christmas dinner with my daughter, her husband and our grandkids. But this morning my grand daughter started showing flu symptoms. Since my wife and I are over 70 in a high risk group, we have had to cancel our Christmas day plans just hours before the event that we really looked out to enjoy. Stupid virus!

Bummer, but be glad the symptoms didn't wait until tomorrow. We have to do plan B for dinner with the grand kids due to the weather. At any rate, Merry Christmas.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
