@kryptik I read about it, that has to be why I remember bad things so clearly, the article even mentions President Kennedy and the space shuttle blowing up, I have one more that I can remember everything that happened I was 8 years old and saved an old man from drowning, he fell off of my Dad's dock in the inlet with the tide ebbing, I ran down the dock to get ahead of him, and climbed down a piling and stuck my leg out for him to grab (Dad always told us to never jump in if someone was in trouble, to throw something to them, they could take us under with them) I did not have anything to throw to him. I could tell everything that happened, even how he fell, what he was wearing, the chair he had to sit on, etc, and afterward diving down to get his fishing pole back, his wife yelling get his hat, it is all still so clear to me, and this was 60 years ago.
