types of memories

During different life events that we have, we have store all types of memories including ones called “flashbulb” memories where an event is so significant we remember a lot of details on that day.  What are key components that increase the likelihood of having this detailed, clear type of memory?  What usually occurs to make it that much easier to remember?  Why are we not able to remember all memories this way?
