I'm sorry, but this does not add up. Even ignoring the fact that she's talking about it like it happened 70 years ago, did this guy never leave the house or anything? Parents have been known to lift cars to save their children and vice/versa but neither could generate enough to just put him in a wheelchair, office chair, wheelbarrow, etc.

I agree. Many questions and her demeanor is off

I've told my wife that. If there's any chance I can save either or my kids, I will risk my life every time. I'd rather die than live with a "what if?"

Sounds like he's got himself in the wrong place if he expected to be carried out of there-

Why in the world is she doing interviews about this so soon after it happened?

Something is off about this...

Yeah broken arm or not, either I’m saving my son or we’re both dying. Zero chance I’d leave him there to die and only save myself.

If I had two broken arms I’d grab his clothes by teeth and try to drag him away.

She is 100% full of shite and this should be investigated.

She said that in the video. More the reason to question why she did not have a plan and have neighbors help her.
