There's no way that a bomb of that magnitude was supposed to detonate in an empty street like that with no one present. That was supposed to take down a building. It's possible that it went off early on it's way to a target.

No, but for realz. Apparently the VBIED was playing a warning for people to evacuate the area. That's really odd behavior for your average terrorist or activist.
Whoever it was, they missed.
