I saw this today: http://hotairpundit.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-video-of-challenger-explosion.html
It is a different and distant view from a home video of the launch.

That's kinda creepy- and a reminder of just how cold it was that day, seeing shrubbery in the neighborhood wrapped up in fabric. 
Living 100 miles south, I remember it was chilly but not real frigid here.  I'd worked late the night before- till 2AM or so.... by the time I woke up and turned on the tube, it had already happened.

That perspective really shows how early into the launch the explosion happened.
