colleague sophie rayworth spoke to two eyewitnesses — emma stevie, who was on the train at the time of the explosion, and local resident katy llewellyn—joneshin five seconds, the doors, you know, were closing and we just heard the loudest, scariest screams coming from what sounded like the carriage right next to us and loud men shouting "run". so when people shout run, you run. we just all ran to for our lives. we just all ran for our lives. we didn't know why. we didn't hear an explosion. i thought acid had been thrown around or something, i just thought why. and we got to the steps and it was just the worst. it was a proper human crush. we all got stuck in. there was a woman underneath me, there was a lady saying she was pregnant. there was a little boy, his face had got smashed into the step. it was like it was just like... i was holding on to the railing in a foetal position, trying not to put my weight on anyone but there were just layers and layers of people screaming. it was just awful. it was really traumatic. and we didn't know why we were running. and i thought maybe this is worse. maybe this is all a bit of a mistake. you know?
