The Pulitzer Prizes should make awards to people not classified as "journalists". This guy is as good as any jounalist out there. How do we know that? He caught this great spot news coverage.
this is the first time ive watched video of this happening that wasnt news footage. its amazing how calm they all were, im pretty sure they all knew what happened but they still all kept their calm, even after they found out for sure what happened.
that was good video for an old camera, but still that was a sad day. i was 7 when that happened and i still remember, gives me goose bumps just seeing it again, i still think about them, same with the space capsule and columbia. thoughts and prayers as always.
right after the explosion a giant nuke hurtles from the sky and lands wipes out everyone and every bit of land a tsunami of fire and mushroom cloud as big as the earth
Was kneehigh to a grasshopper back then, and my innocent wittle heart was saddened by this event, dawned on me that man was existing on sub normal planet and prone to failure
an amazing video and they caledl it before it happened, they said the trust appeared brighter than normal. Just normal people fascinated in lift offs seemed smarter than the Nasa experts really amazing video for history freaks like me.
@redbuckatl Actually when they say it was brighter than usual is right after it exploded. In video around 0:49 was the actual explosion the brightness was leading up to then.. The rest of the video is the boosters randomly shooting around and the gas/smoke expanding. Don't see how noticing an explosion makes them smarter than NASA....
Thanks for posting. It is important to document the reaction to this tragedy, and I think your video does that, we were all shocked and confused, then horrified at what happened.
The astronauts didn't even feel it, they didn't even know it happened. One second they were launching, and then the next they were standing at heaven's doors :)
I saw this happen from the parking lot of the place I worked in West Palm Beach, and this is definitely authentic. It looked exactly like that, though smaller and further away.
@1969captainron Wow u Cant be Serious So what do you think The "With All Due Respect" Old Guy Threw this together with "Cinema 4D or After Effects ??" R U Taking Drugs of ANY Kind or What ????????
Very chilling, all the more so from hearing the shock and confusion caused by it. It gives a different perspective to someone who was not alive at the time. Really numbing.
I find it disgraceful making fun of the elderly man filming this video. Good video of a serious tragedy. Still get cold chills thinking back. Hearing my teachers gasp in the cafeteria. Kids with the same confusion as the old man.
@farren76 I agree. We shouldn't make fun of this guy at all. If I had been videotaping this, I would be reacting the same way. Hard to believe it has been 25 years since that fateful day. Still remember it like it was yesterday.
I watched the Space Shuttles take off time after time from Palm Beach County, Florida. But I missed the Challenger blow up, And I'm glad I was Workin in the woods off 441 and could not see it. Rest In Peace Challenger crew.
I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but it's just to have this as a personal video is amazing and the reaction is amazing as well. The explosion from this angle and its distance isn't shocking as the CNN view of it.
Those people in their yard videotaping had the brains to cover their shrubs and bushes in the yard against the cold weather, but NASA was too stupid to think about protecting the Shuttle and Crew from the cold weather. Idiots.
@jgatorful --- If you'd seen this video anywhere else, you might note that the man taking the video was an optometrist. I wouldn't walk around making assumptions about people based on their regional accent.
@djirok referencing ships as feminine dates back to ancient times. I'll tell you what I tell my kids. Don't correct adults until you actually know something.
@mlynn1231 it doesnt matter if it was referenced before christ!!! it still doesnt make it right or a female!! having slavery wasnt right, calling a machine a she isnt right!!! monkey see monkey do!!! just cause others do it doesnt mean its right!!! what you should tell your kids is that they should stand up for what they believe in specially when idiots do it cause its been done for a long time even though its not right or correct!! silence acceptance is whats wrong in the world...so stfu
Just because some live in the state of Florida doesn’t mean there all expects on the space program. The guy videoing it was just puzzled at what happened? And was right “that doesn’t look right”. I guess the video tape was passed to NASA so they can have another advantage angle of the accident. They shouldn’t have rushed that flight they should have checked double checked triple checked and checked again before launching STS-51Challenger.
right on knightowl, I agree. Many people on blogs always have something negative to say, without thinking. I assume their braindead & people always make an assumption after the fact. I would've loved to see their reaction while filming simultaneously & even if they did figure it out, why blame someone else for not knowing & being insulting?
as if all off you out there have an immediate hypothesis compared to albert fucking einsteins theories...not everyone is a genius for fuxxx sakes..jees
KnightOwl2006 I totally agree with you: Why should one expect a scientific approach from ordinary people trying to make their day more interesting (and by so doing providing us with coverage of the disaster from an unseen angle)?
@freefrederikfree You know kiddie your comment is DUMB! You wasn’t even around when this happened! I was at work listening to the radio while this happened! And was puzzled and then horrified when I got home and saw the TV images on the news. You’re comment at taking the piss is DUMB beyond all the galaxies in the universe times infantry, times infinity.
SIGH fucking 17 year old kiddies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@freefrederikfree Well I’m sure I might have said the same thing or maybe you would have if born a bit earlier in time. Maybe he hasn’t seen that many shuttle launches and didn’t know what to expect from it, until “that didn’t look right”. damn right it, it didn’t look right, the shuttle should have still been ascending upwards, not the SRB flying over the sky and the SRB still had plenty of fuel and would have been separated a few minutes later.
Lol! Turn on the captions (CC) for this video! For "That's not as bad as it was," it says "With the advent of love." Ahh, gotta love Google's technology...
That was a bad day. I was stationed at MacDill AFB and watched the launch from about 80 miles away. Our instructor told us something was wrong but I figured it was the SRB's separating. Then we heard over the radio what had happened.
It could have been avoided if NASA had listened to Morton Thiokol, but they had launch fever.
I was a little kid standing in the back of kinder-care(a local day care chain) looking up at the sky at this very moment. I was closer then this shot.
The thing that stuck in my mind most was everyone in my church said it happened because they wanted to put a woman into space and God wouldn't allow it because women are impure. Good thing I've grown up to be a more rational then those that raised me. It's a shame people wanted to defame a brave woman because of their superstitious nonsense.
@GodKillerAtheist There have been other women in space before and after this. Svatlana Savitskaya, Valentina Tereshkova, Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Anna Fisher.......... I cant beleive those church fanatics would say that.
@wt1209061 I doubt the misogynistic gossip of misinformed and very credulous religionists would Actually know that other women went on the space shuttle before this tragic accident. Maybe they wanted the children to believe that rubbish. I suppose they did succeed in thoroughly reinforcing it into my mind.
Another note. The Westboro baptist church has a sign that says "God Blew Up The Shuttle" but they believe it was because America didn't speak out against homosexuality
Very interesting perspective. I've see pretty much every angle of this from NASA's cameras, but never from this kind of distance. You can clearly see from this view how much higher those SRB's flew after the explosion, and how the main debris also tracked upward initially after the breakup, something not readily apparent from official NASA footage.
That's some nice videography considering it's a regular guy (80 something years old) capturing something bizarre like that. It's probably hard to believe what you're actually seeing, but he holds steady the entire time. Yeah, he followed the boosters, but that was naturally the main focus. He's not a dumb guy in the least. He's a citizen who, from 70 miles away, is leisurely videotaping a routine launch that turns into something different.
@kcoikid@kcoikid Where do you get 10 miles from? The footage is shot by a guy named Jack Moss; he's shooting from a place called Winter Haven, Florida, 80 miles from Cape Canaveral. I researched online and found an abundance of articles about it.
10 miles away is basically right on top of the launch and it would look much closer.
@kcoikid Well, I'm not from FLA, so I won't doubt you. I'm just going by what I read. Either way, 10 or 70 miles, he still did a fine job shooting it.

It's probably hard to believe what you're actually seeing, but he holds steady the entire time. Yeah, he followed the boosters, but that was naturally the main focus. He's not a dumb guy in the least. He's a citizen who, from 70 miles away, is leisurely videotaping a routine launch that turns into something different.

@kcoikid@kcoikid Where do you get 10 miles from? The footage is shot by a guy named Jack Moss; he's shooting from a place called Winter Haven, Florida, 80 miles from Cape Canaveral. I researched online and found an abundance of articles about it.
10 miles away is basically right on top of the launch and it would look much closer.

@jimtherat8 really?! I've lived on Merritt Island my whole life and that looks like about the same as what I see

@kcoikid Well, I'm not from FLA, so I won't doubt you. I'm just going by what I read. Either way, 10 or 70 miles, he still did a fine job shooting it.
