The answer is "it is an example of flashbulb memory".

A flashbulb memory refers to an extraordinarily clear 'depiction' existing apart from everything else and conditions in which a bit of astonishing and considerable news was heard. The expression "flashbulb memory" proposes the amazement, aimless brightening, detail, and quickness of a photo; however flashbulb memories are just to some degree unpredictable and are a long way from finish.
