Celebrate 2018 with a brief look back at the memorable chaos of 2017

Whether you remember 2017 as the year the Houston Astros finally won the World Series or the year Hurricane Harvey dumped 27 trillion gallons and 51.88 inches of water on Houston, the year President Trump started making America great again or started America's moral and environmental decline, there's probably at least one major news story or notable death that you don't remember from last year. The Associated Press did not fit every noteworthy moment from 2017 into its year-end recap Monday night, but it packed a lot into 2 minutes and 41 seconds. As you prepare for what promises to be another action-packed year in 2018, you can take a brief look back at 2017 below. Peter Weber
