Dear Bruce,
Of course you can add it to the original post.
Funny tricks - childhood memory For many years the "clip" I had experienced kept appearing repeatedly and vividly before my eyes. At some point I started doubting that experience, and thought it was a dream, triggered by the thunderstorm. But it was so clear and explicit... Only in recent years, when I found some item on the Internet relating that fatal crash, did I realise that the "clip" was real.
Regards
Mordecai
