A trailer exploded in Nashville, USA, on Friday. Images from local television station WKRN showed fire trucks and initially several fires on the street. Police confirmed on Twitter that there was an explosion at 6:30 am local time. About two hours later, the fires shown were clearly contained.
Several buildings were damaged by the caravan that exploded. Three people were slightly injured. You are in the hospital. A police officer suffered hearing loss from the blast.
Speaker warned of explosion.
The reason for the explosion remains unclear at this time. However, the authorities assume an attack. “The explosion was substantial, as you can see,” a police spokesman said in a briefing on Friday morning. “We believe that the explosion was a deliberate act.”
As reported by a “News Channel 5” reporter, a loudspeaker warned of the bombing. Consequently, the warning was heard a few minutes before a “countdown” began, which ended with the massive explosion.
Now a video has emerged from a surveillance camera in which the warning can be clearly heard. “If you can hear this message, evacuate immediately,” says a woman’s voice. A few seconds later there is an explosion.
On-site triggering alarm
Police spokesman Don Aaron said officers arrived at the scene early that morning after reports of alleged gunfire. They alerted the police bombing unit and asked residents to leave the area about the suspicious trailer, Aaron said.
Dozens of users on social networks had taken photos and videos showing black smoke above the city center. The photographs showed broken glass in several houses. Mayor John Cooper said on Twitter that police and federal forces are now investigating the exact cause of the explosion. “It looks like a bomb went off,” Cooper said. (SDA / man)
