Nashville Christmas Day bombing site still a shell of a building in eerie pics 4 years on as unanswered questions remain

Four years after the tragedy, the site of a catastrophic blast in Nashville on Christmas Day remains an abandoned shell, according to shocking new photos.

In the shocking explosion that occurred on Christmas Day in 2020, over 60 structures sustained significant damage, and one person—the bomber—was killed.

Authorities acknowledge that there is no way to know for sure if they could have stopped the explosion, leaving the events of that day shrouded in mystery.

On Christmas morning, Anthony Warner, the bomber, is thought to have parked his RV in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and set up a potent homemade bomb on Second Avenue North at approximately 6:30 a.m.

The Petula Clark song Downtown and a spooky audio recording counting down to detonation could be heard emanating from the RV prior to the explosion.

Even yet, three individuals were still hurt by the blast’s ferocity, and authorities had barely enough time to evacuate all the surrounding buildings.

400 people were relocated and 41 businesses were damaged by the explosion, which also left a massive crater in its wake.

After the explosion, Warner’s remains were found in the wreckage.

The city is still processing the explosion and its effects four years later. Regarding the downtown location, there is no set timetable.

Despite long-term ambitions to rebuild it, the site—which includes the four-story historic Old Spaghetti Factory—remains a derelict shell of a structure.

It is anticipated that major site upgrades would start in the summer of 2025. Everything is expected to be finished by the end of 2026.

The century-old historic site will continue to be a bombed-out ruin till then.

Warner’s reasons for the explosion remain unknown.

A friend contacted 911 around 16 months prior to the explosion, claiming that Warner “might be building a bomb.”

Many local businesses in the neighborhood were already struggling with the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak when the blast happened.

With the exception of a two-year probationary period for felony marijuana possession in 1978, Warner, 63, had no criminal history.
