US EditionVideo Shows Terrifying Moment when Avalanche Collides with Moving Train
The avalanche struck a Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn train near Zermatt, covering it in snow; all passengers were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported, officials said.
- Near Zermatt, a regional Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn train was struck by an avalanche on Feb. 21, and MGBahn confirmed no injuries after passengers were evacuated.
- Dangerous winter conditions across the western Alps have heightened avalanche risk, prompting Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn to suspend the St. Niklaus–Täsch route and consult external local natural-hazard specialists.
- Onboard audio reveals reactions, including `uh-oh!`, as Kirsten Osborne filmed the avalanche striking the train, and a child on board is heard saying `uh-oh!`. Passengers were stranded for around two hours before buses transported them to safety.
- MGBahn said it is consulting specialists to assess the Disentis–Zermatt network; investigators are probing whether an avalanche played a role in the nearby Goppenstein derailment where five were injured.
- The footage circulated widely on social media, prompting online users to question if avalanches are more frequent, with some linking concerns to climate change.
