There's a real life superhero on the loose in Texas and his name is Tori Phillips! The Dallas man made headlines earlier this week after he caught a baby who fell from a burning apartment building. The kicker? He just happened to be wearing a Superman hoodie at the time. Well, that's one hilariously awesome coincidence!
The four-alarm apartment fire occurred on Monday and reportedly destroyed dozens of residences, including that of Phillips. Thankfully though, he not only managed to make it outside safely, but also did so just in time to help a family trapped inside an upper floor. So how did it all go down?

Phillips apparently spotted a family stuck on one of the building's patios, frantically trying to jump down and escape the growing flames. "They had the baby, they did not want the baby to let go, and I came in and said, 'I'm right here, I can catch the baby,'" he told NBC 5. "And I was there for the right catch." Wow…talk about being in the right place at the right time.
Luckily, he and another Good Samaritan were able to help both the baby and the parents to safety. And thoughhe lost most of his possessions, Phillips says the scary experience has made him more thankful than ever for he and his loved ones' well being. "I know little ones are more important than material things," he said.
Such an amazing story! I'm so glad that both Phillips and the child he saved were able to escape the fire with no major injuries. Many in his position would've been too preoccupied with the disaster at the hand to think of anything else, but Phillips put his attention on lending a helping hand. Clearly, he really is a superhero…Superman hoodie or not!
