He said that the train then came to a stop right before it pulled into the 36th St. Station.
"That's when we hear 'pop, pop, pop' like three or four real quick pops," Foote-Smith said. "And the screaming has now increased. There's more people against the door trying to get out to escape."
He described how he saw a man at the door of the car behind his with "fear in his eyes" and everyone was screaming. The door appeared to be jammed so people could not get out of the subway car.
