Ooo fun psychological fact time: most people only think that they have exact memories of traumatic events like that. It is due to the same psychological processes that make people such crappy eye-witnesses, our brain really likes to auto complete and we don't really know the difference between what we have actually processed and what our mind has added in after the fact.
