This is an example of flashbulb memory, which is a highly detailed, exceptionally vivid 'snapshot' of the moment and circumstances in which a piece of surprising and consequential (or emotionally arousing) news was heard. The memory is perceived to have a photographic quality to it, and is often replayed in detail in the mind.
