THREAD: I have discovered something online that *could* be relevant to the Nashville explosion, but I want to be extremely clear that I don't know what - if anything - to infer from it.

I'm hoping appropriate experts and authorities can take a look.

A video on Youtube has gone viral showing the scene of the explosion.

The account that posted it is called "S McG" and has no bio or info, and has never posted until today since joining in 2014.

The account that posted the clip to Twitter only joined this month and has also never posted before today.

The video turns black and white following the explosion in both uploads.

The next tweet is the curious part.

"S McG" who posted the bombing video has an almost identical username to "S Mc G" - who only joined Youtube in April 2020 and also has no bio.

The five videos posted on it, posted over the course of three weeks, are all very bizarre.

This video is posted twice by "S Mc G" on their Youtube.

It montages COVID-19 announcements and reports over music, and then turns to black and white images of destruction, before a clip I don't know how to describe.

and

Their previous post was October 1st, where the video is a static image of the term "Apocalypse" searched on "DuckDuckGo" with Hans Zimmer's "Dream Is Collapsing" track from Inception in the background.

Their only other two uploads appear to be screencapped videos of President Trump with the Kanye West song "Black Skinhead" over it.

The videos are identical other than that one has twenty seconds of other music afterwards.

and

I want to be very clear: I have no idea who "S McG" is or whether they're the same person as "S Mc G", and even if so, whether that person was involved in this incident.

My reason for posting this is that the "S Mc G" account has virtually zero views, so I suspect that nobody has looked into this yet, and I do hope relevant authorities find and take a look at this.

Ok, on the advice of several other journalists as well as my own family with whom I'm celebrating Christmas right now, I've sent this information to the FBI.

We're cooking Christmas dinner right now and it is not my intention to be glued to Twitter this evening.

A couple small followups and a general note on my thread yesterday: Firstly, a lot of people have been sending me tips.

I'm not law enforcement. I basically came across something I think they should look at.

If you really think you have something, contact the FBI, not me.

Regarding the "S McG" who posted the video: They have now written some comments on Youtube indicating that they received the video "at least 3rd hand" and that neither the other Youtube channel nor the Twitter account that posted the video around the same time belong to them.

"S McG" also liked one comment reading "Well it did warn people to evacuate, what a nice gesture"

The Twitter account and the "S Mc G" Youtube have not done anything new since the post yesterday and videos two months ago respectively.

I want to bookend this with how I started: I don't know if what I found matters.

It is very well possible that, as "S McG" has now stated, they simply received this footage third hand and didn't realize they were the first to put it online.

If you seriously have something you believe you've learned on this attack, here's the link to send information to the FBI, which you can also call.

Yesterday I did both and spent about 15 minutes filing a report by phone.
