TN Explosionon 26 Dec 2020 Posted by Helladamnleet Category: Fashion Comments: 0 |
The computerized voice coming from the parked white motor home loudly asked people to evacuate and warned that the vehicle would explode in minutes.
Then at 6:30 a.m. local time, it did just that. The RV's explosion in downtown Nashville early Friday morning left at least three people injured, set several other vehicles on fire, destroyed a number of buildings on the block and knocked out wireless service in much of the region. The how and why of the explosion remain a mystery on Saturday, but officials said they are confident the explosion was "intentional." Still, the Christmas date, the early morning timing and the unusual warnings broadcast on loudspeaker prior to the explosion indicate that this was no attempt at mass murder. "It was clearly done when nobody was going to be around," Nashville Mayor John Cooper said Friday. No bystanders died from the blast. However, investigators found tissue that they believe could be human remains near the site of the explosion, Metro Nashville Police Department Chief John Drake said. The blast tore into at least 41 businesses on 2nd Avenue in Nashville, a street full of historic buildings. Concerned about the structural integrity of the affected buildings, the city cordoned the area off and won't allow anyone in until Sunday afternoon. "It will be some time before 2nd Ave is back to normal," Cooper said. Several local residents told CNN they woke to the sound of gunfire early Friday morning. Police said they were called to the location after a report of shots fired around 5:30 a.m. Once on scene, police found a white RV parked in front of an AT&T transmission building at 166 2nd Avenue North. The RV was repeatedly broadcasting a message warning of an explosion set to occur in 15 minutes, police said. "This vehicle will explode in 15 minutes," the voice said, according to Betsy Williams, who was staying at an apartment on 2nd Avenue. After repeating that message for a minute, the voice then said the vehicle will explode in 14 minutes, and continued counting down from there. Six uniformed police officers who heard the message, immediately began knocking on doors and evacuating residents. Mayor Cooper praised them as heroes and said their swift action saved lives. As the countdown grew closer to its end, the message from the RV changed, according to surveillance video taken from a building across the street. "If you can hear this message, evacuate now," the voice said at about 6:30 a.m. "If you can hear this message, evacuate now." The vehicle then exploded in a bright flash of light. Three civilians were hospitalized and are in stable condition, officials said. The force of the explosion knocked down one officer, police spokesman Don Aaron said, and caused hearing loss in another. But no officers suffered serious injuries. Officials have no information about whether anyone was inside the RV when it exploded. Police also tweeted a photo of the RV as it was driven into the area at 1:22 a.m. Friday. Williams, the eyewitness, told CNN she was in her car with her family when the RV exploded into a fireball. "Everything just, I mean, everything shook. It was quite the blast," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper. 'This vehicle will explode in 15 minutes.' Witnesses describe surviving the Nashville explosion 'This vehicle will explode in 15 minutes.' Witnesses describe surviving the Nashville explosion Three cars were set afire. Trees were down. Bricks and glass were everywhere. Another resident said the scene of destruction was like an apocalyptic movie. AT&T spokesman Jim Greer told CNN that the company's network hub in the city was damaged in the explosion and service in the Nashville area was affected. AT&T is the parent company of CNN. The street is on the edge of Nashville's hospitality and tourist district in a historic part of town. Technical experts from the FBI lab and evidence response teams have been brought in from around the country to "help process this massive crime scene," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt Foster. ATF Special Agent in Charge Mickey French said his agency had activated its national response teams and was working alongside the FBI and Nashville police. The agency has explosive specialists, chemists and engineers involved in the evidence recovery process. |

Jailhouse Burritoon 14 Jun 2020 Posted by Helladamnleet Category: Food Comments: 0 |
Jailhouse Burritos are a staple in any half-decent jail, because they are easy to make with simple to find ingredients. All you need is a Ramen noodle for a base, and your favorite chip. Revision 1: Make sure you add 1 noodle per chip used, or the chips will overpower the noodle and make it taste like garbage.

Amateur Taxidermyon 22 May 2020 Posted by e107 Category: Technology Comments: 0 |
Ever think to yourself, man I wish I had a skeleton without all that pesky meat on it. Well now you can! Introducing the Dermestid. You've probably seen these little flesh eating beetles around and never given them much thought. And why would you? They don't bother anyone, they don't eat living or wet meat, and are generally harmless. They can do some damage to leather and carpet if they are left unchecked. These little buggers are use by museums and taxidermists to efficiently clean the meat off a skeleton. This skeleton can be anything, human or animal. Some people think bleaching the bones is a good idea and while that creates white bones, it also makes them brittle. Some people like to boil the meat off the bones and while that works, it often creates yellow bones that aren't pleasing to look at.

2000-2005 Buick Lesabre Window Regulator Repairon 17 May 2020 Posted by e107 Category: Technology Comments: 0 |
Just had to put on of these in because the wire came out of mine and broke a bunch of shit. It's really not hard either you just:
It's a lot of steps, but they're easy steps other than removing the glass from the regulator if it's already stuck. Otherwise worst case is you might have to just cut the regulator wires so the glass can slide freely. I opted not to because I was hoping to be able to repair the existing regulator. |
