Philadelphia Plane Crash: Eagles Fan Who Saved His Sister Is Up From Surgery And Wants To Know If He Missed The Super Bowl

You know how sometimes you wake up from surgery and you’re all disoriented and have no idea what’s going on? Well, that’s exactly what happened to Andre ‘Trey’ Howard III – the 10-year-old Eagles fan who saved his sister from the Philadelphia Plane Crash.

Andre is awake from the brain surgery and according to reports, he wanted to know two things – if his sisters was fine and also if he missed the Super Bowl LIX. Such a young die-hard fan!

Howard was seriously injured in the devastating Philadelphia medevac jet crash while he was on an after-school trip to Dunkin’ Donuts with his family.

Andre was impaled by debris while protecting his younger sister when the plane crashed near the Roosevelt Mall on Friday.

When the tragedy occurred, the 10-year-old was in the car with his father and two younger siblings, ages 4 and 7, getting their ‘usual strawberry doughnuts’ from Dunkin’ Donuts, per WPVI.

‘As we are leaving Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot, we were met with an explosion by the airplane crashing on Cottman Ave,’ Trey’s father, Andre Howard Jr., said on Facebook.

Howard Jr. explained his son was rushed to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital for an emergency brain surgery and then transferred to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for further treatment.

Howard Jr. said the family was warned Trey might not survive his injuries, but after a successful surgery, the boy is alert and talking.

‘To face death yesterday and speaking today, stepping up for his little sister, like I train him and his other little brothers to do off of instinct. He’s my hero,’ said Howard Jr.

When the 10-year-old woke up for surgery, he immediately wanted to know if his sister was okay.

‘[Trey asked] ‘Daddy, did I save my sister?’ Howard Jr. said. ‘It had me crying.’

Howard Jr. said his son told him, ‘You told us to get down. I was just trying to help my sister… next thing I know, I thought I died.’

‘He asked me, ‘Daddy, what’s today?’ I was like, ‘Monday,” said Howard Jr.

‘[Trey said] ‘OK, wait. We didn’t play yesterday, did we?’ [Howard replied] ‘No, you didn’t miss the Super Bowl.”

So there you have it, folks. Trey hasn’t missed out on the Super Bowl, he still has the chance to watch the event this weekend if he gets discharged from the hospital. Regardless, he can still watch the action while at the hospital.
