SUSSEX BOROUGH When she awoke Christmas morning to the news that a car bomb had detonated just over 2 miles from her apartment in Nashville, Laura Masson went from initially being dismissive to fearing the worst. My mom had the TV on and told me about it when I woke up, Masson recalled. My first thought was it was probably a construction site accident, but then they said an RV had exploded. At that point I starting wondering: Is this a terror attack? Are we talking 9/11-scale?
Masson, 26, of Sussex Borough said she had come home for the holidays three days earlier. She d had no idea if the blast had impacted Vanderbilt University, where she is a doctoral candidate in biomedical engineering, or the apartment just down the street from the university s main campus, where she d left her two cats in the care of friends who stayed behind for the holidays.
