Update (1250 ET): Unconfirmed video appears to have captured the moments before and after the Christmas morning explosion in Downtown Nashville.
Right before the explosion, a woman can be heard on a loudspeaker, saying, "all buildings in this area must be evacuated now."
She also said: "If you can hear this message, evacuate now."
After the warning, a loud bang could be heard as the camera was blinded by what appears to be the explosion's bright light.
Moments later, the camera regains focus only to unveil a city street transformed into a warzone.
