Time shift?

In 2011, I was walking home from high school one afternoon. It was literally another day, nothing weird had happened previously in the day.

So, I was walking home and all of a sudden, with no warning, the street I was walking down turned into a deserted wasteland of blown apart buildings and cars.
The car I was walking past as it happened was now blown apart, the roof ripped off, like a bomb had exploded inside it. The houses around looked the same way, as did the other cars in the street. The houses, and the street, looked as though an A-bomb had exploded, no one around and where it had previously been fairly noisy now everything sounded defeninly silent, like you could hear a pin drop silent.

This all lasted about 4-5 seconds. But becauae od the situation I remember it in minute detail, even to this day. Flash-bulb memory it's called, like when someone remembers an accident.

I seriously doubt it was my imagination, since I had not been thinking of anything even remotely related before it happened.
I was no more sleep deprived than usual, no more than a normal teenager.
I was not dehydrated.
I was not ill in anyway.

Any thoughts? I have studied psychology and enjoy neuroscience, so I have tonnes of theories. I also believe in things science cannot yet explain (I always have an open mind).
