Everyone on board was OK, but Kirsten Osborne, the tourist who took the video, they were all stuck "for two hours before rescue and provided bus transport to safety."

The train route was suspended for the rest of the day due to the heightened avalanche risk.

I mean...what are you supposed to do in that situation? You're on a train, it's moving, and there's a giant wall of snow barreling toward you.

A normal what? Is she asking if this is a “normal” avalanche?

Could've been you.

You can put your head between your knees and cover up with your arms.

They had quite a bit of time to do something and it seems they just watched.
