"It was a Friday evening, and a dad was doing the most ordinary thing in the world: taking three of his kids to get donuts.
They were pulling away from the shop in northeast Philadelphia when the sky came apart. A medical transport jet had crashed nearby, and in an instant the street was fire, smoke, and debris flying in every direction like shrapnel.

And when he woke up, his very first concern wasn't himself. He asked his dad two things. Had he missed the Super Bowl. And then, quietly: "Daddy, did I save my sister?"

His dad told him he wasn't a celebrity. He was a superhero π€"
