Man Witnesses Boston, Waco: Joe Berti, 43, In Wrong Place At Wrong Time Twice [VIDEO]
Mere seconds after Joe Berti crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon, a bomb had suddenly ignited. If that wasn't shocking enough, the 43-year-old was back in his home state of Texas thinking the worst was behind him when he witnessed a fertilizer plant explode near Waco just two days later.
Berti, who was clearly been at the wrong place at the wrong time as of late, spoke to the New York Daily News about the two tragedies, and his reaction after the second one.
"I was just like, I can't believe this! I just want to get out of here and get away from all these explosions," said Berti, who never witnessed an explosion before the latest happenings.
Berti said that he felt lucky that he left both tragedies unharmed, and that his significant other, who was at the Boston Marathon, wasn't hurt at all either.
"It's a miracle. People keep saying, 'Don't you feel unlucky?' and I was actually the opposite - saying not only do I not feel unlucky, but I feel blessed that my wife could be 10 yards from the explosion and not have a scratch," he said.
"We're grateful that God has been merciful to us. We are just praying for the people who were so much less fortunate than we were."
