Flashbulb memories and 9/11
Continuing the memory theme, a host describes flashbulb memories and a study that interviewed people about 9/11 days after the attacks and again ten years later: a majority of the facts had changed, yet people insisted their decade-old version was correct, even when shown their own handwriting. The segment also touches on a news anchor embellishing his story over time.
