Aubrey Charles, a passenger, described how they were instructed to walk to the back of the train, where there were ladders for a safe evacuation. However, several individuals started leaping through the broken windows. By the third or fourth automobile, I overheard a woman screaming behind me and thought, “No. Avoid jumping! Then, when we turn to face the river, we see this woman swimming about,” he remarked.
