New amateur video of Challenger disaster surfaces

Twenty-four years after the world watched in horror as the Challenger space shuttle exploded over Cape Canaveral, Florida, chilling new video has surfaced of the disaster.

Retired optometrist Jacob Moss recorded the four minute video while testing out his new camera on the morning of January 28, 1986. It is believed to be the only amateur video of the tragic event.
