This is a dead-ringer for the Metcalf sniper attack: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/05/272015606... Edit: dead-wringer => dead-ringer

Seems like some group is making another test of their abilities. Perhaps gathering data on government response and repair times.

Makes me wonder if a coordinated multi-location strike is coming sometime in the future. Scary stuff.

Vast majority of physical infrastructure has no security beyond a rickety fence. It is good that most terrorists are as mentally unstable as they are, because a rational person with some easily homemade bombs could easily disable most anything they want with no real chance at being caught.

Alternatively you could notice how few of these things have happened since this article was published in 2014 and realize the kind of crazy that wants to end the world rarely has the executive function to do the needful :-)
