Damn, that sucks. Our anchoring or focus effect bias results in less retained data at the time and more filling in later. But that would be for extraneous things they didn't actually see. A proper recollection of events would probably have them clear up what actually happened where they realize they didn't see the engine on fire. If asked about the specific things they did see, I would think that is more accurate since they actually did focus on it at the time. Our best option is to always have a camera, then we can verify what happened lol ;)
