The available Apollo 11 ascent video starts, I believe, several (10-20?) seconds after liftoff. The Apollo 11 audiovisual DVD I bought says that there are some people (conspiracy theorists?) that claim NASA intentionally clipped the video so that people wouldn't see the flag falling over. I think there is some hearsay that Buzz saw it fall over.
