The family of a 10-year-old boy injured when the jet crashed down near their car is sharing their experience.
“My baby is in there. It’s hard seeing him like that,” said the boy’s mother, Lashawn Hamiel.
Trey Howard is one of the survivors, despite being seriously injured by flying debris.
“Felt like it was a movie, like a horror movie,” said Trey’s dad, Andre Howard Jr.
Andre says he was picking up donuts with three of his kids — ages 4, 7 and 10 — when the jet came crashing down.
“Sounded like a missile was firing bullets, metal at my car, everyone else’s car,” Andre recalled. “You see a car on fire, a man walking on fire. It was just crazy.”
He immediately backed up his car while his son Trey covered his little sister, protecting her.
“I turn around and he has metal outside of his head,” Andre described.
He said he used socks and another man’s shirt to try and stop the bleeding.
A police officer then rushed them to the hospital, where Trey had emergency brain surgery.
That night, Andre says the family was told, “it was a strong chance he might not survive.”
Miraculously, he’s now awake and recovering — even talking!
“They did an A+ job on my son. Praise God, they did a great job,” Andre said.
Andre told ABC News that his son’s first real words were about the Super Bowl.
“He asked me, ‘Daddy, what’s today?’ I was like, ‘Monday.’ ‘OK, wait. We didn’t play yesterday did we?’ ‘No, you didn’t miss the Super Bowl,'” Andre said, describing his son as a die-hard Eagles fan.
He was also concerned for his little sister.
“It had me crying,” Andre said, recalling when Trey asked, “Daddy, did I save my sister?”

America is full of heroes.
A truly blessed Story. I hope he and his Family can be at the Super bowl.
Beautiful story.
This time a black kid is a hero, God bless him.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Wouldn't surprise me if this family were Presidential gallery guests at next year's SOTU Address.
How sweet. He’ll be a good American — maybe a hero a second time in the military.
This is such an awesome story. His only thought was his sister and non for himself.
It’s like Spock, when he’s dying from radiation poisoning and he asks captain Kirk- “Ship, out of danger?”
And what is another key piece of info in this story? He has his dad in his life, something a majority of black children don’t have. All the best to him and his family; what an out-of-the-blue tragedy, and recovery.
I hope Trump invites this family to the White House. If course, let the family recover first.
Was reading this story to my wife and got choked up there for a sec.
Good point.
Black culture is so dysfunctional and those who actually address the problems with dysfunctional black culture are so often maligned.
The Left does not want the black community to become healthy, strong, and independent. Strong independence is exactly the opposite of the what gov't-loving Left wants.
The difference a dad makes...I couldn’t be more proud of this kid and the dad who’s raising him.
I hope he gets to meet the President, and I hope he gets to meet Saquon and Jalen.
What a true BAD### for protecting his little sister!!!
He’s gonna be somebody when he grows up! Speedy recovery Hero!
This young man has an abundance of character.
