This area must be evacuated now. If you can hear this message, evacuate now. If you can hear this message, evacuate now.

Ford Fisher, the publisher of News2Share, took to Twitter to trace the origins of the video of the viral explosion, the details of which have now been sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for a more detailed investigation of the incident. He revealed that the contentious video was originally uploaded to YouTube by an account called ‘S McG’. “The account that posted it is called” S McG “and it has no biography or information, and has never posted until today since joining in 2014,” he said.

Fisher noted that the same video clip was first uploaded to Twitter by an account called ‘TA’ that joined the microblogging platform just this month. He had not posted any tweets until the alleged video clip of the Nashville explosion. “The video turns black and white after the explosion in both charges,” Fisher noted in his tweet.

The journalist emphasized how the YouTube channel, where the video was uploaded for the first time, bore an uncanny resemblance to another channel called ‘S Mc G’, which was created in April this year and had no biography. “The five videos posted on it, posted over the course of three weeks, are all very strange,” Fisher emphasized.

Fisher added that the video was published twice by said YouTube channel. “He mounts COVID-19 commercials and reports on music, and then it turns into black and white images of destruction, before a clip I don’t know how to describe,” he tweeted.

In one of those videos, the person who uploaded the video added strange music to the announcements of the Coronavirus pandemic, but then turned the video into something morbid through representations of buildings (in black and white) that mark the end of the civilization. The video ended on a horrible note with someone growling, in the middle of a dense forest, as if yelling for help. “Goodbye,” read the caption at the end.

Fisher said that in another video posted on October 1, the video featured a still image of the term “Apocalypse”, which was being searched on “DuckDuckGo” with background music from Hans Zimmer’s track “Dream Is Collapsing” from the film. “Inception”. ‘.

The journalist mentioned that the other two videos uploaded to the channel are clips captured on screen of the president of the United States, Trump, against the background of the track ‘Black Skinhead’ by Kanye West. He stressed that “the videos are identical except that you have twenty seconds of other music after.”

Ford Fisher concluded: “I want to be very clear: I have no idea who” S McG “is or if he is the same person as” S Mc G “, and even if so, if that person was involved in this incident.” He also added that the video had been sent to the FBI law enforcement authorities.
