The massive reach that the events had in the moment have provided researchers a tonne of data for studying so-called "flash-bulb" memories, and the results are revealing. While each and every one of us is dead certain about everything we experienced in those moments, on that day, numerous studies have shown that most of us are completely wrong about all sorts of things that seem to us as doubtless.
For example, I also remember very clearly watching the second plane hit the S. Tower live, just as I was getting ready to head to work that morning. My wife is convinced she watched it with me, but it happened @0600 here on the coast, and I am sure she was still sleeping.
We both share the same certainty about our own memories, but clearly at least one of us is completely wrong about it.
