Past simple

Our next guest found her dad trapped under his truck

in their garage that was engulfed in flames.

Without even thinking, she lifted the 7,000 pound truck

- So it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving,

and my dad was just working on the truck.

And I just had a feeling that something was weird.

open the garage door, and the entire garage was black.

I can't see anything except, like, a small flame

I run over to him, and all I remember him saying is

You see his legs sticking out or what part was sticking out?

I thought we was just working under the car.

I didn't think anything really was happening.

- You didn't see that it was on top of him?

- Also there was smoke in there. - Right.

I, uh, I don't remember a whole lot at the time,

but she says that I said "help me" or something to that--

- Right, yeah, "help me" would be what I would say.

- Please, please help me. - If you could please--

I mean, it was-- I just kinda, I went over to it.

And it was touching the ground completely.

And he was stuck under it, and he just said,

It took two tries to really lift it up, but--

now, like, are you-- are you on the ground?

Like, how are you-- how do you even think about

and I felt like I wasn't moving anything.

I really didn't feel like-- I was like, okay, I'm, oh, yup,

all right, like--is it moving? Is it moving?

But it was up enough where I kinda jammed my hip

and just dropped the truck and then pulled him out.

- So you lifted it, and then rested it on your hip.

- And then pulled your dad out? - Right, right.

'cause you thought the truck would catch fire, right?

- Right, I was super afraid that the truck engine

would just explode and take out the house,

It just wouldn't move. There's three wheels,

and I'm literally standing on the accelerator, like,

come on, like, I gotta get this thing out of--

So it finally moves, and it's dancing around

and skating around and I finally get it far enough

away from the house that I can chuck the keys

- Wow, that is cra-- well you can see how bad

- So--and thank goodness you moved the truck.

So however--when--when the truck dropped, it caused--

Which then there was a spark maybe from the wheel touching

I think they're, you know-- they're guessing

as what ignited it, but it was definitely gas.

- I mean, that's like-- the fact that you

that you went to get the truck after what you did.

You hear these stories about people being able to lift

a truck--a 7,000 pound truck, but usually it's a man.
