Nashville bomb caused major 911 problems

At the height of the outage, 46 counties in Tennessee had disruptions
in 911 call center services, state officials said. As of Tuesday, four
counties (Bledsoe, Cannon, Lincoln and Perry), home to about 70,000
people, were still without call center services and were using
alternate numbers to route emergency calls.

The outages also affected the Tennessee hotline for reporting child
abuse, adult protective services and driver's license services, among
other agencies and programs. Severe disruptions were also reported in
Kentucky and Alabama.
