A man spoke of the terrifying moment when he came face to to face with one of the suspected suicide bombers at Shepherd's Bush.
Business analyst Abisha Moyo said he heard a bang like a "pistol going off" and saw a fellow Tube passenger lying on the floor of their carriage.
He approached him and asked "are you all right, mate" but was then stunned to see the man was lying on top of a rucksack with smoke coming out.
The suspect then calmly left the rucksack behind, jumped on the tracks and walked away down the line, said Mr Moyo.

"London Police Hunt for Terror Suspects"
Friday, July 22, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON —
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police have said that the backpacks and explosives used in Thursday's attacks appear to strongly resemble the materials used in the July 7 attacks.
Two were arrested in connection to the bombings, but both were later released. One was initially detained near Downing Street, site of the prime minister's residence. The other was picked up near Tottenham Court Road, close to the Warren Street subway station where one attack took place.
Detectives are working on the basis that the bombs were not properly primed, sources told Sky News. That could explain eyewitness accounts of suspects fleeing the scenes of at least some of the blasts.
Police officials said it was too early to tell whether the failed bombings were the doings of an Al Qaeda or affiliated cell. They did say, however, that there was a "clear similarity" between Thursday's incidents and the July 7 bombings."
