At least 17 dead after Portugal funicular crash | BBC News

A national day of mourning is being observed in Portugal, after at least 17 people were killed when a funicular cable railway derailed and hit a building in Lisbon.

More than 20 others were injured, including four Portuguese, two German and two Spanish nationals, and authorities say a three-year-old child was also hurt.

Police say they’re working with the company that runs the Gloria funicular, which is popular with tourists, to ascertain who was on board and what caused the crash.

Local media reports suggest a cable came loose along the railway’s route, causing it to lose control.
