I heard a "pop" and knew immediately something was wrong. The escalator started to speed up, and everyone in front of me was able to get off until the guy in front of my friend went down. My friend, Zach, was able to hop around him, I had to hurdle the guy, and when I looked back there was a huge pile of people at the bottom. It looked like a flesh mudslide. I tried to pull a pretty big guy out of the pile but he waved me off saying he was alright so I started trying to back the rubberneckers away to get medics through. After a couple of minutes my friends and I left the whole area figuring we were all okay. Nothing more than a couple of twisted ankles we thought. I was on the escalator when it broke.
