Chaos as 15 die in horrific crash on iconic Portuguese ourist attraction

At least 15 have been killed and 18 injured following a horror crash on the iconic Funicular railway in Lisbon, Portugal. Footage has emerged of the crash site showing the mangled carriage against a wall. The publicly owned Gloria Funicular, opened in 1885, was electrified 30 years later and is seen as one of the most iconic features of the city. The Portuguese government has announced a national day of mourning for the victims of the incident on Thursday. Emergency crews worked well into the night trying to clear the wreckage from the hillside. Lisbon’s Firefighters Regiment said a loose cable caused the funicular to lose control and slam into a building during rush hour. Foreigners have been confirmed as among the dead and injured. The nationalities and status of the affected foreigners are still unknown.
