The Associated Press has posted a video of a mudslide that on December 18th 2012 was mobilized while a freight train was passing. Amazing coincidence or did the vibrations from the train contributed to the mobilization of the mudslide which ended up derailing at least seven cars. In either case, someone caught the whole occurrence on video. See the embedded video!
According to The Telegraph, The carriages were carrying various types of freight, including chemicals. A hazardous materials team responded, but there was no threat to the environment or public health.
