Rare amateur video captures Challenger tragedy up close


I remember watching this launch on TV and not really understanding what had happened. I knew some thing was not right, but I could not figure out what. That might sound silly, but that is how I tried to process it at the time.
 
Snuff Film? is there such a thing, isn't such a thing a myth? If real, would it only be such a thing if some one got their "jollies" from watching it?

@Para - yes there are such things - I watched one the other week, not knowing what it was gonna be.

This rare home vid of shuttle disaster was amazing - none of the public seemed to realise something had gone wrong and I found myself thinking I would have been the same. It does look like it could have been some normal booster separation or something? I imagine the real news would have filtered through quite quickly afterwards.
 
Yeah i got given a bootleg copy of the banned movie executions many years ago, it was footage of people being executed, and i couldnt watch it all.
The footage of some poor bastard being stoned to death was the worst.

I remember this disaster well, ive always been fascinated by space travel, and in particular the US space program.
I cried like a baby when i watched the footage.
 
Sounds nasty....

But, come to think of it there was chatter going around in our school back in the 80's there was a video called faces of death or some thing, that what you are taking about? I think was banned from all video rental outlets over here.
 
There were several 'Faces of Death' and I think they were straight to video type deals. If I remember correctly, the narrator was a medical examiner in reality and it was through his work that he came across all manner of deaths and became fascinated with it all and collected real footage that captured a human death. The kind of thing it has is: parachute not opening -splat! suicide jumps off buildings - splat! alligator attack - crunch! etc you get the picture.

But being completely serious for a moment, I was initially referring to footage recently posted on the net of a sadistic murder followed by dismemberment followed by some sexual interaction.
No, I did not get the order of that round the wrong way.

Anyway, it was committed by a bi-sexual male model/pornstar from Canada - he was in the news having gone on the run after posting the video of the murder he committed online AND sending a foot or something to a member of parliament by POSTAL SERVICE.
I don't know if he even ever intended not to be caught, I mean he put evidence of his guilt for a heinous crime on the internet! Hardly discreet. It seems he had a history of cruelty to small animals which is often an indicator of a sadistic sociopath, which he of course is.

Oh, and the victim was his ex-boyfriend, although that should not be a surprise as so many murders of partners happen every day.

I've always had a personal policy of looking at anything once on video as long as it's nothing to do with dodgy porn. Violence and death, whilst unpleasant, does exist on earth and for me I feel I should bear witness to horrible things. Having said that, it means that if something upsetting is on a tv or computer screen I probably wont switch it off but at the same time I will never seek out such things to view.

I genuinely do not recommend viewing the vid I am on about but if you wanna read the news story just google the search words 'ice-pick murder porn canada' and that will find the story.

There is nothing to be gained by watching that video, it only genuinely disturbs and sickens but nevertheless it exists.
