The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has released high-quality footage of the exact moment when an explosive-laden RV detonated on Christmas morning in a massive blast that authorities say killed the bombing suspect.
The surveillance video, posted by metro police on Sunday night, shows the recreation vehicle from a distance, and a police officer walking out of the frame just seconds before the blast.
While there is no sound and the clip goes from a calm street to a huge ball of flames in a single frame, debris can be seen littering the ground after the blast that damaged dozens of buildings, including an AT&T data transmission center.

The suspect perished in the explosion and his motives remain a mystery, with authorities saying it was “still [too] early in the investigation” for a definitive conclusion.
