OTTAWA, Kan. (AP) — 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.

laughed at the last part of the story "...Harris said he tried later that day to lift other cars and couldn't." but he did when it counted.

Like we were talking about in the Band of Bothers thread, people can do amazing things in a life and death situation.
