Document Summary
Sometimes you can remember things exactly, sometimes it"s just parts of the memory that are correct/wrong, and sometimes the memory could have never happened at all. El al cargo plane crash in 1992 2 engines blew and crashed into an 11-story apartment building in bijlemermeer. Ended in 43 people killed and 10 months later people were interviewed about a so called film that happened on the crash. Majority of the people recalled that they had seen the film even though there was no such thing. Then they interviewed more people and asked for more specific details (how fast was the plane going) and they responded with more detailed info. Trying to remember something that happened a year ago very emotional event. Asked participants to wait in a professors office for procedure of experiment, then told to there was no procedure = studying their memory of what the office looks like. They 29/30 people remember there was a desk and chair.
