Two near death experiences in one week. This guy is blessed!
Joe Berti has been granted the odd privilege of surviving two explosions and being able to tell the tale with no injuries.
Berti ran in the Boston Marathon early this week in support of a charity that helps children who are suffering from rare or undiagnosed disorders. As he crossed the finish line, his wife cheered him on and the two thought they would celebrate. Instead, two bombs went off, hitting Berti’s wife with shrapnel without injuring her and separating the couple. The two later found each other at their hotel.
Returning back home to Austin, Texas without a scratch, Berti went back to work. On his way home, he saw thick black smoke coming from a fertilizer plant explosion. Berti’s initial reaction was “You’ve got to be kidding!”
Berti tells the Associated Press, “My next reaction was to get out of there because something fell on the top of my car- some debris or something feel from the sky. It’s a miracle. People keep saying, ‘Don’t you feel unlucky?’ and I was actually the opposite.”
Wow. We’re glad Berti and his wife are OK. The man is clearly going to be the family’s storyteller this holiday season.
