YouTube’s yearly “Rewind” video released on Wednesday highlighting the world’s most popular content creators, memes and events of the year in the video platform showcased the Amtrak “Snow-Mo Collision” that took place in Rhinecliff in March.

In the Rhinecliff incident in March, a southbound train from Albany approaches the Rhinecliff station and as it gets closer and pulls in, it hits snow on the tracks, which sends a huge wave of snow onto the platform, hitting people and even knocking some people down.

Amtrak said no one was injured in the incident.
