A train was knocked off its tracks Monday afternoon by a mudslide in Everett, Wash.
A man happened to catch the footage on his cell phone, as the slide came down the face of a 100-ft. slope, knocking seven of the train's cars off the tracks.
The cars were carrying packages of disinfectant and chemicals used in cleaning supplies and fertilizer.
No injuries were reported. A hazardous materials team cleared that there was no threat to the environment or public health.
