The aftereffects of the Nashville Christmas bombing continued to be felt in Hartsville and Middle Tennessee at the beginning of this week.
The bombing, which took place on Nashvilleâs Second Avenue North, knocked out a telephone exchange at the AT&T building. The blast interrupted service, but the company declined to say how widespread outages were.
The AT&T outages site showed service issues in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. Several police agencies reported that their 911 systems were down because of the outage, including Knox County, home to Knoxville about 180 miles east of Nashville.
AT&T said that it was bringing in portable cell sites and was working with law enforcement to get access to make repairs to its equipment. The company noted that âpower is essential to restoringâ service.
