Kansas dad somehow lifts car off 6-year-old girl

OTTAWA, Kan. – A Kansas mother is praising a neighbor as "Superman" after her 6-year-old daughter told her he somehow found the strength to lift a car off her. The girl escaped with minor injuries after she and neighbor Nick Harris said she was pinned under the vehicle.

"He really is Superman," Kristen Hough, the child's mother, said Friday of Harris, the man she said saved her daughter, Ashlyn.

Harris, 32, said he doesn't know how he managed to lift the Mercury sedan off the child. The 5-foot-7, 185-pound Harris said he tried later that day to lift other cars and couldn't.

I can sum that up in two words......
Fear and Adrenilin! Seen this happen before and people with
a very elevated adrenilin can do things they normally couldn't do.
It can also come from rage. That one can be very scarey.

that is exactly right.

sometimes the person does not even remember the incident later, or has only a vague recollection of it.
