The RV that exploded into a massive fireball on Christmas morning in downtown Nashville played Petula Clark’s classic pop song “Downtown” shortly before the blast shook the city, a police officer responded Sunday.
Officer James Luellen, one of six police heroes who evacuated civilians from the area while the SUV paired with explosives sounded an audio warning, recalled hearing the vehicle’s intermittent intermittent countdown to the 1965 topographic.
“The music started and I notified it [police radio] to notify other officers, “Luellen said, speaking alongside four of his fellow police officers at a press conference Sunday.” Then, after the song, he kept coming back to the ad for a while. “
Luellen said he did not immediately acknowledge it, but committed enough memory to later asking another Federal Office respondent for alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives.
“What I remembered was, ‘In the center of town, where the lights are shining,'” he said. “Later, the ATF agent I spoke to ripped him off and … ‘Downtown’ Petula Clark was the specific song that was played. “
When the warning to evacuate the area was completed, the RV exploded in a hail of shrapnel and flames, destroying parts of nearby buildings and leaving three people injured.
Alleged human remains have been found among the wreckage and police are investigating whether they belong to the possible owner of the RV, Anthony Quinn Warner.
According to investigators, investigators are investigating whether Warner, a 63-year-old computer expert, intentionally detonated the RV outside an area AT&T building (hindering local cell service) out of technology paranoia. 5G and alleged government wiretaps.
