I know this is slightly old news, but I was unable to post this close to when it originally happened because the video was stuck on an SD Card and I couldn't remove it until we got home from our holidays a few weeks later. Hope it'll be of interest to some. I know the NASA official footage is more detailed and higher resolution, but this is another perspective, I've not seen any other civilian footage of this here. We visited Kennedy Space Centre 28th June 2015 and viewed the Falcon 9 Rocket Launch, taking supplies to the International Space Station. We were positioned at LC39 Observation Gantry, which is about close as a normal civilian can get to a Rocket Launch at KSC, about 3 miles from the pad. The video was shot with a Panasonic Lumix, from a cheap tripod, apologies for the bad focus sometimes and less than perfect tracking, I was trying to shoot the launch but not miss it myself. I missed the first couple of seconds of the launch because there was a significant audio delay on the tannoy countdown. The announcer had only just starting counting 10 down to 1 when the rocket actually departed. The second half of the clip was shot as the public were dispersing, I decided to hang around and continue shooting, as weird as it sounds, nobody realised that the rocket had actually exploded. It was only when the announcements came over the tannoy that it really sunk in. I know it seems obvious from the video, but many just assumed that was what a rocket looks like when it goes through the atmosphere.
