Who Is the Old Man in the Boston Marathon Bombing Picture?
Monday's twin explosions at the 2013 Boston Marathon
The Boston Globetold Piers Morgan in an interview last night
"I was just approaching the last straightaway for the finish line, and I had a good day and was feeling really good and I got down to about 15 feet of the finishing apron when a tremendous explosion that sounded like a bomb went off right next to me," said Iffrig, adding, "the shockwaves just hit my whole body and my legs started jittering around and I knew I was going down."
Iffrig said that he didn't feel any severe pain; he luckily only suffered a small scratch on his leg. Someone quickly came to his aid to help him get up and finish the race. Amazingly, he was composed enough to make the 6-block trek back to his hotel and his wife.
