NASHVILLE, TN — Sweeping communications outages are continuing to plague large swaths of Tennessee after a recreational vehicle exploded early Christmas morning in sleepy downtown Nashville.

Police emergency systems across Tennessee and Kentucky, as well as Nashville’s COVID-19 community hotline, remained out of service due to an AT&T central office being affected by the blast.

Police believe the blast was intentional but don’t yet know a motive or target.

However, Nashville Metro Police Chief John Drake says investigators have found tissue at the scene that they believe could be human remains.
