as posted by the channelA passenger captured the moment an avalanche roared down a mountainside and slammed into a train near Zermatt, Switzerland, on Feb. 17.
In video filmed by Kirsten Osborne, an Australian living in the United Kingdom, a child can be heard saying, “Uh-oh!” as snow engulfed the train. Osborne said passengers were stranded for about two hours before being evacuated by bus.
Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, the rail company that operates the route, said no one was injured but suspended service for the rest of the day because of elevated avalanche risk.
