For the second time in less than a week, a tragic event captured on video has brought an outpouring of sympathetic tweets from NFL players.
A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco on Wednesday injured dozens of people and killed an unknown number of others, leaving the factory a smoldering ruin and leveling buildings for blocks in every direction, according to The Associated Press.
Among the NFL players tweeting about it were Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III and St. Louis Rams running back Terrance Ganaway, who both went to Baylor.
