From the library
“A passenger who passed Aldgate in an ordinary Metropolitan train about 11:40 on Monday night declares that he heard a heavy thud, as of a body striking the line, just before the train reached the station.
Would it be possible for me to inspect the train which contained the passenger who heard the thud of a fall in the fog?”
But now from somewhere among the broken ground immediately in front of us there came one last despairing yell, and then a dull, heavy thud.
