There’s a guy on one of my FB groups who knew him and his wife works at the realtor that the bomber did some work for. From what he described he sounded like the classic pizza tech. He was an alarm tech who “knows about computers.”

This case is just bizarre...
One doesn't use a bomb unless you want massive collateral damage, yet he went out of his way to avoid that. This is probably the cleanest bombing in human history as a result, with only the suicide bomber himself dying.
I want to say it's a domestic terror attack, but it looks more like he was ****** off at AT&T for something?

I saw several articles which mentioned the possibility this guy might have been one of those 5G death ray conspiracists.

Well i think he wanted to level the AT&T switching station but he didn’t realize how well built those buildings are. They are steel frame, steel reinforced concrete buildings with no windows in the tech areas. Not quite a bunker but very well built. The buildings across the street were leveled or had multiple floors collapse. He wanted to wreck the telephone system so badly that it would take years to fix.

I’ve also heard a report that his father had worked for AT&T. Make that what you will.

And what on earth any given switching station has to do with 5G, in any meaningful sense, eludes me. I worked for AT&T for 12 years, post-divestiture, and that's not what those stations have much of anything to do with.

Well any cell service has to connect to the landline at some point and if you think the company is poisoning people you don’t break their hands, you go for the headshot.

I would not call absolute destruction of that building, had it been successful, "the headshot," or even, "a headshot." (And I know you're talking about intent, and I'm talking about result). Service does not rely on the existence of any given one of these facilities and there's lots and lots and lots of redundancy and alternate routing available. Telephony, particularly for landlines, is a very robust system indeed.
I'd also be willing to wager these days that it's probably a 50/50 shot as to whether a landline is ever involved in many phone calls. My mother's "landline" isn't even a true landline. It's supplied through a small base unit that's cellular service, but into which you plug a conventional phone handset to access the actual phone service.

From the complaints online that redundancy didn’t work as well as it was supposed to. Even so it’s days to fix not months.

Again, not aimed at you, but there are many who will complain at anything less than perfection and uninterrupted service, even in highly atypical circumstances.
Not unlike those complaining about lack of "the customary availability, and promptness of delivery" of all sorts of things in the Age of Covid.
Nothing is 100% except death and taxes and exceptional circumstances mean irregularities are almost guaranteed.

Of course they are real. Just ask Dr. Who.
I suspect he spent most of the 80s stoned and now believes that the TV show, V, was a documentary ...

Probably had him on Tech Support for eternity - or they kept his red stapler.
