Author: Do you remember where you were 24 years ago when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded? Any of us who were around then saw the video and can remember our sense of shock. Now NASA is releasing a new amateur video of the disaster, which is a gripping, unfiltered view of the disaster.
I found out about it from Mike Davidson, who posted the clip on his blog.
Corydon optometrist Jack Moss, who took the video, can be heard saying to someone off camera:
“There she goes George. That’s brighter than usual.” Then the booster rockets spiral off and Moss realizes something is seriously wrong. “That’s trouble of some kind,” he says with dawning disbelief.
The video might never have been made public if Moss hadn’t thought to donate it to NASA shortly before he died last December.
