STS-117, June 08, 2007
Launch +7 seconds (approx). The shockwave came soon hereafter. Wow. There should be more camera shake in these shots than there is.
Atlantis was just about to start rolling, but here it's still in profile so you can see the main engine exhaust to the right of the boosters'. The tower bathed in flame gives some sense of scale. That's just a massive burn going down.
