Albert Gunter's decision to accelerate as the bridge began to rise was crucial. He remarked, 'I felt we had to keep on or we might be flung into the river.' This instinctive response saved all on board from a perilous fall into the Thames.
Passenger Peter Dunn recounted the chaos as they crossed the bridge, saying, 'Before we knew it, we were going across Tower Bridge - but just as we had gone over the first half... there was a loud crashing sound and I was thrown on to the floor.' This vivid memory illustrates the panic and uncertainty they faced.
