NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A recreational vehicle parked in the deserted streets of downtown Nashville exploded early Christmas morning, causing widespread communications outages that took down police emergency systems and grounded flights at the city’s airport.
Authorities said they believe the blast was intentional. Three people were hurt in the explosion, which shattered windows and damaged buildings.
