Man 'bends car door' of burning vehicle to save driver
by Guest Wed Jul 02, 2014 10:04 am
A man saved a driver from a burning car by bending the door with his bare hands, say police, describing his feat of "superhuman strength".
Bob Renning, 52, pulled up on a freeway in Minnesota to help another vehicle that was filling with smoke.
He told the Minneapolis Star Tribune he was not sure how he bent the door open far enough to shatter the window glass.
Police officer Zachary Hill was first to the scene and full of praise for Mr Renning's "extraordinary" heroics.
"He did an extraordinary deed, bending a locked car door in half, of a burning car, to extricate a trapped person," said Hill.
Mr Renning, a member of the US National Guard, said he sprinted towards the vehicle as he saw flames and smoke "rolling around" the SUV. His girlfriend called 911.
After he realised the vehicle was locked and the windows would not work, Mr Renning gripped the top of the door frame with his fingers, braced his foot against the door and pulled, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.

Kind of reminds me this man of the film Unbreakable.
Or is there a simple scientific explanation?

Simple scientific explanation...

Interesting Tess, but I would not go as far to say scientific, more hypothesis or theory that it does, but still interesting none the less, the reality is this is a rarity, where surly it would be very common when most people are subjected to fear. To me no doubt it does play a part, but I think there is something else that as of yet has not been explained.
