Maybe massive connectivity loss was the purpose. While something interesting was offline, maybe with security infrastructure disabled or weakened, likely at many places across the area, something interesting could have been done.

Hard not to jump to the conclusion that it was some Q-Anon inspired attack on "5G".

A news organization is now reporting this hypothesis too: https://twitter.com/JFinleyreports/status/134303899884809011...

I don’t think Qanon conspiracy theorists are capable of tying their own shoelaces, let alone knowing how to pick a good telecoms target, choosing an appropriate explosive and quantity, assembling a bomb, planning timing and logistics of the actual bombing, and completing it without getting caught by the FBI or stopped by local authorities with minimal collateral. Nothing about this says “dumbfuck theorist”. I’m just an armchair detective though. I’ll wait for the Netflix special (complete with composite characters and fake events).

You don't have to be an idiot to be a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist.

Having lived in a country with very real political bombings, I have little time for false flag discourse without evidence.

Bad interpretation of visual evidence. Other videos online make it extremely clear the blast is centered on the RV; this video is juxtaposing a before shot with a shot from several moments after the initial blast, when smoke has begun to pour out of the destroyed buildings and is scattering the glow from the still-burning RV down the street.

where's the original source?

I only found this https://twitter.com/iamforrest_/status/1342580703440084994

So that previous video was not showing the start of the explosion, it was showing the end of the explosion. Labeling the end of the explosion "source" is misleading. It's possible when the RV exploded, some of the flammable material was forced across the street, and that's why there is fire across the street.

The first frame with an explosion has the explosion centered closer to the RV than to the other side of the street. I downloaded the video with youtube-dl and stepped through frame by frame with MPC-HC.

Oooh, are we playing that QAnon game?
