Timing on Christmas and the lengthy list of security systems that rely upon ATT.. makes me wonder. Some variety of a Heist? Seems it wouldn’t be market related given mkts already closed. This is far fetched, yeah. Maybe it was just someone who hates 5G.

Coupled with the evacuation warning (edit: and early morning timing), presumably Christmas was chosen because the fewest number of people would be in the building and/or out and about.
For the record, I think this attack was unjustified and Operation Opera[0] was justified, but when Israel bombed the Osirak reactor, they did it on a Sunday to minimize the number of French civilians in the building.
I agree, the heist angle was something that came to my mind, it would work if they somehow knew that the blast would take out the generator back up and if they knew that that C.O. only had one entrance facility or some vulnerability like that, which would mean some inside knowledge. Often C.O.'s have dual entrance vaults which it would make sense for bank alarms to be redundant, but if they got the generator or something. They went out of their way to try not to hurt anyone which seems more like maybe an Oceans 11 type heist. I guess if come Monday morning a bunch of banks have been hit we will know, but I would think that the cops are standing guard at all he banks right now. Highly unlikely but who knows.
Jewelry stores are also likely targets.
yup, and when you think about it, a blast would be a great distraction. You could hit multiple places and the cops would attribute all the alarms going off to the blast at the AT&T building. And if you had to blow open a safe or multiple safes at a bunch of banks and jewelry places, the calls from people hearing other blasts the cops and 911 would be all jammed up and even if someone gets through they would figure it was the one at the AT&T building and probably not check into it for a long time, too busy with the first one.
