Witnesses who were on the train during the Friday explosion at a London Underground station described a loud bang, flames, and then a “fireball.” Several were injured from either burns or from the resulting stampede. Metropolitan Police have declared it a “terrorist incident,” according to a statement released hours after the attack. The explosion on a rush-hour train hit the Parsons Green station at about 8:30 a.m. One witness told BBC 5 Live that people were “on the floor, all like toppling over each other just trying to get out as quickly as they could and there were loads of people crying and shaking.” He said there were “loads of people limping and covered in blood and stuff from like where they’d fallen over and hurt themselves.”
