Скачать или смотреть Lisbon mourns after Gloria funicular derailment kills 15 and injures dozens

Tragedy struck Lisbon as the city’s iconic Gloria funicular derailed, killing at least 15 people and injuring 18 others, including a child. The cable railway crash occurred near Avenida da Liberdade, with eyewitnesses describing the carriage as “out of control” and “without brakes” before colliding with a building. Emergency services quickly responded, rescuing passengers trapped in the wreckage, while authorities confirmed that foreigners were among the victims. Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa expressed his condolences, and Lisbon’s mayor described the city as “in mourning.” European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen and Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, also offered their sympathies. The Gloria funicular, opened in 1885 and electrified three decades later, is a historic landmark and a key tourist attraction, traveling 275 meters from Restauradores Square to Bairro Alto in just three minutes. Authorities are investigating the cause, with early reports suggesting a loose cable along the railway may have led to the fatal derailment.
