That fireball first fills the whole street then when the bomb blast force bounces off the bombproof building on the left it picks up dirt and debris which darkens the fireball on the left while on the other side of the street it is still very bright which makes it look like it originated there.
Its a new world.
Now when you are driving you have to be very careful of how loud the music is you are playing and what song you are playing.
Failure to heed this could result in a swat team surrounding you.
Just the FBI doing a show investigation for the public while knowing exactly what happened.
There are some loosely affiliated hackers lately who have been using the name and doing things like knocking the Atlanta Police Website offline briefly but many are now serving long prison sentences or disappeared after the famous hacker and Anonymous leader Sabu was captured and made a plea deal which involved turning them in.
He apparently got careless one time and instead of using an anonymization network logged in with his real ip and was quickly tracked down.

Sounds like the people who did it told him something big is going to happen in your city but don't worry about it, its only going to happen once and we will be there very soon after that to take care of things. Just make sure you try to hold back your police from investigating and we will.make sure you are richly rewarded afterward.
But he is too much of an idiot to realize that if he can't do the very concerned public official acting bit he should just keep his mouth shut or use standard " we have a full investigation underway" phrases.
Just make sure you don't get too close to those places for the next few weeks.
Looks like the CIA and FBI sending this warning message to the NSA
Fuck Off
Get your hackers out of our systems and stop helping trump or we are going to be breaking your stuff one by one.
Or could it be because power is out in the area and if the backup generators for that Central Office Network Operations Center are using Natural Gas for fuel they might also have to be shut down also to check for leaks.
A lot of those massive buildings without windows are Central Switching Stations for the phone Companies.
With massive computer systems inside running software to connect your phone to the phone you call especially if it is long distance.
Looks like a very professional hit job.
Someone who knew exactly what they were doing.
Kind of like the action was Ok'd but they were warned to keep casualties down.
And they went out of their way to make sure that it happened that way with the timing and a lot of warnings.
Here is an outage map https://downdetector.com/status/att/map/
Mainly Nashville and a few other cities in the SE and some scattered outages in a few places across the US.
Someone said that an AT&T Transmission Tower in Nashville was also affected in a "direct action."
That makes more sense although the explosion downtown was huge, the buildings are still standing.
Someone also said that since there is no power in the area of the explosion the AT&T data center is running on natural gas fueled generators and now gas service has been shutdown also for about 5 to 6 hours while they check the damage for potential gas leaks.
Yes its really convenient.
An explosion at 6:30 AM on Christmas Day designed to send a message without hurting anyone
A bonus, a message to AT&T about not pushing back when asked to give up all the information about their phone customers.
Now for the "public safety" they have an emergency excuse to set up road blocks and search vehicles on January 6.

LA County Inmate Information
I checked it out on a number of devices with different screen sizes. The larger ones you can see right away there has been a big change. But the smaller screens you can miss it unless you do a lot of left and right scrolling and that can be a problem on the very smallest screens.
I Guess they have been worried that too many people have been getting that idea.
They now have passed these laws. You can face a $15,000 fine if you have in your possession certain feathers and up to a $100,000 fine if you have a bald eagle feather in your possession.
