A 10-year-old boy named Trey Howard is making a 'miraculous' recovery after protecting his younger sister from the flying debris of a medical transport plane that crashed in Philadelphia last week. Howard's father, Andre Howard Jr., said Trey shielded his sister and told her to 'get down' as the plane went down. A piece of metal from the crash struck Trey in the head, but he was able to alert his father. Doctors warned the family he might not survive, but he has shown significant improvement and asked about his sister after waking up from surgery.

A 10-year-old boy has been making a “miraculous” recovery after protecting his younger sister from the flying debris of a medical transport plane that crashed in Philadelphia last week, his family said.
“It sounded like a missile was firing bullets, metal at my car, everyone else’s car,” Andre Howard told WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. Howard said he immediately backed up his car while his son covered his sister and told her, “Get down!” Trey grabbed his sister and Howard heard the glass shatter, he said.
Andre Howard said he used socks and another man provided his shirt in an attempt to stop the bleeding on the boy’s head. A police officer rushed them to the hospital. Doctors warned the family he might not survive his injuries, but he has improved every day.
