A lot of people went to the Boston Marathon, and a lot of people live in Texas, so perhaps it wasn’t that unlikely that at least one person would see both the Boston bombs and the fertilizer explosion in West. That person was Texan marathoner Joe Berti. He told AP he’d never seen an explosion before the blast that followed his marathon finish. Then two days later he was driving into Waco when the fertilizer factory in West exploded. “Maybe he just needs to stand in an open field,” his wife said, echoing the sentiment of commenters who requested he not visit their towns.
