I found this old video footage today and thought I would share it. I have never seen a video quite like this one.

This was filmed 13 March 1989, and documents the actual reentry and burnup of Discovery’s external fuel tank from STS 29...

YouTube has pretty neat vids of the separation and early reentry of the SRBs, very cool. And totally silent, which makes it even cooler.
