When a plane crashes or goes missing, we become obsessed with k**wing exactly what happened. Such tragedies, though statistically rare, capture our attention because it feels inexplicable to lose so many souls in an instant. *
It turns out that our curiosity doesn't end there. New research published Wednesday in Science Advances (http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/4/e1602368) shows that plane crashes trigger collective memories of similar past events. That might sound obvious, but the researchers used a clever strategy to understand how this dynamic works. In the process, they revealed new insights into collective memory.
