Reply #31: Eyewitness testimony can be very wrong, especially if the

event is a traumatic one. Toss in the fact that we are generally not prepared to be a witness and unconsciously reassemble events to form a coherent narrative. I've witnessed car accidents and "remembered" things happening that are physically impossible. It's not unusual to remember events out of order. The brain will try to match what it sees for the first time against things that it already knows about.

Look at some of the comments above. People here are willing to believe that a person trapped for 27 hours could think it was two days. Doesn't it make sense that the sights and sounds of that day could also be mis-remembered?
