Nashville Bombing Coincidences

Video Transcript:

Let's bring in now Buck McCoy. This is a witness who got video right after the explosion. This is some video that we've been watching throughout the day. So thank you so much for sharing with us. It really gave us some insight into the media at aftermath of this explosion. I guess to start, how are you doing? Well, I'm a little bit shook up. I'm trying to come to the realization that the place I've been living in for the last five years is completely demolished. And everything that I owned was in there. All my guitars, all the things that I've been using to make a living out here were just completely blown apart. Buck, as a musician yourself, I know you have a heart for Nashville. It's an incredible city to go and listen to live music. I want to get to that, the community aspect of this. But just tell me what happened this morning when the explosion occurred. Did you fly out of bed? We've heard reports of people really feeling this impact. Well, I was asleep and around 5.30 in the morning. I heard gunshots coming from second avenue. I lived just above the old spaghetti factory. And I could hear gunfire out in front on second avenue. So I got up, but looked out the window. I didn't see anything. There was a little snow on the ground. So I just went back into the other part of my apartment to go to sleep. And I heard some more gunshots. I heard probably five, six, seven shots. And I was, well, I'm not going to get up now. There's nothing really to see. But then within 10 minutes, I was laying in bed and there was just the biggest explosion I've ever been ever, ever heard. It just knocked the windows from the front room into the back. Watch out for the snakes. Yeah. Watch out for the snakes. Watch out for the snakes. Yeah. Watch out for the copying what I do every time. They want to take what's mine. They busy faking and telling me lies. Now I watch out for the snakes. Watch out for the snakes. Yeah. Watch out for the snakes. Watch out for the snakes. Yeah. Watch out for the copying what I do every time. They want to take what's mine. They busy faking and telling me lies. Now I watch out for the snakes. It was sometime between 4.30 and 5am. I'm not exactly sure. The first time we heard the gunshots, it sounded like an automatic weapon. And it was very loud. And it woke me up. It woke us up and we didn't do anything to start with because you just wake up. After you've heard that, well then, we waited a few minutes and it happened again. And so we called 911. So the first time you heard it, how many shots did you hear in a row? I think it was, I didn't really count it, but it was about probably 8 to 12. OK. It was bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, like that. And it was very loud. And then do you have a sense of how much time it was in? It's in the second time. How much time allowed between the first burst and the second time you heard it? You know, it seemed like it was probably longer than it actually was. And so maybe it was five minutes. OK. Maybe 10. OK. And then it happened again. And then we called 911. Well then, when it happened the third time, and we called 911 back again, just to make sure. And there were responders who had already come down there after we called the first time. And we noticed we looked out the window and there was this white RV that was parked just across the street. And so it started playing this message. I'm going to evacuate now. This vehicle contains a bomb and it will explode. And I think they may have been playing some other things. It was a mechanized woman's voice. It was computerized. And so it didn't sound like a woman had recorded it herself. It sounded some sort of computerized. No, it sounded like it was a computerized thing. You know how you have those automated calls and you have automated stuff. And that's what it sounded like. And that went on for a good long while because by that time we were called 911 again, wanting to know what should we do. And what did they tell you? And they were trying to get information from the police who were down there to try and figure out what they needed to tell us. Well, in the meantime, we started gathering up our stuff. I had to get my cat. I had my 85 year old sister who was staying in another apartment. We ran short-term rentals on this floor and we didn't have any guests. But my son was visiting up here. My sister visiting here. And they were in two different apartments. And from the one that I've lived in for 15 years. And so then we, then they started the countdown. Then they started the countdown. Then they started the countdown. Then they started the countdown. And they started dropping back. What do you wait now? Do you know what time the countdown started, roughly? I think the countdown probably started sometime around 10 to 6 or 5 to 6. Something like that. Because we, at 11, when there were still 11 minutes left, we got on the elevator and went downstairs. And by the time we got to our garage, where our car was parked on first Avenue, the last thing we heard was there were eight minutes. And we left to evacuate. So they're recording his counting down minute by minute? Yes, it was counting down. It was saying you have 15 minutes to evacuate. And then, you know, and it would say that over and over. And then you have 14 minutes to evacuate. So during that, sorry, sorry, trouble. Just be clear. So when it would say you have 15 minutes to evacuate, it would say that over and over over the course of a minute. And then it would say you have 14 minutes and it would say that over and over. Yeah, yes. Wow. That must be terrible. I'm going to get away down. I mean, I didn't hear it anymore after eight minutes because we were in the car. I mean, that must be terrifying. It was absolutely terrifying. And I mean, and you know, I told my family yesterday, I said, you know, I think I'm just going to spend all day Christmas in my pajamas. But, you know, I didn't mean that I wouldn't have anything else to put on because we walked out of there with our pajamas and our cat. This is not how you expect it to spend the day in your pajamas. We're expecting more relaxing day. Right. Right. And we had all of our Christmas stuff set up. And in fact, our Christmas tree and everything is in the apartment that overlooks the river. It's a larger apartment that overlooks the Cumberland River. And so we went back around there after the explosion because we left. You know, what happened was that I'm sorry, I didn't finish this. The countdown started. And we went and got in our car. And we left and went across the river to Nissan Stadium and parked there for several minutes. And after we knew that the time had passed where the bomb was going to go off, I mean, the 15 minutes had passed, we went, well, that must have just been somebody's sick idea of a joke. And we got back on Korean veterans Boulevard and turned down Second Avenue heading north to come back down there because we were thinking, we'll just go home. And of course, then the bomb exploded while we were on our way. Back down there, we saw that thing. The fireball went all the way up past the AT&T above the AT&T building. Watch out for the snakes. Yeah, watch out for the snakes. Watch out for the snakes. Yeah, watch out for the copying what I do every time. They want to take what's mine. They busy faking and telling me lies.

They've got deals with Nellis and other bases around the country Now they've got the FBI deal so with the FBI business and personal communications now in place for AT&T This will include a lot of the local offices a lot of different facilities all moving over to these first net contracts So with these first net deals This is a completely separate Operational network core for those VIPs that are on the first net services it leverages the AT&T network sites Obviously as well as their assets and spectrum They do receive priority access at all times specifically during emergency moments and times when they require that exclusive access Band 14, which is the 700 megahertz Frequency that they linked in this deal is going to be a big part of what they do moving forward in commercial and Mobility for all customers, but specifically you could see how here it's going to be leveraged for the first net deal But specifically you could see how here it's going to be leveraged for the first net deal But specifically you could see how here it's going to be leveraged for the first net deal
