Witnesses said they felt it slam against something, and many began to panic, scream and cry.

 
“Typically, when you’re coming into Atlantic Terminal, the train goes very slow. Today, I was saying to myself as we were coming in, it was going faster than usual and before you knew it, the impact and people were, like, flying.” one witness reported.

Moments after the incident panic took over. “People crying, screaming, then it started smoking,” said a witness. “So they were trying to get off the train as fast as we can, because we didn’t know if it was going to blow up or something like that.”
