At least 15 people have lost their lives and eighteen more have been injured after a horrific accident involving Lisbon’s iconic Glória Funicular this Wednesday evening.
The popular tourist tram, which connects the city’s downtown with the Bairro Alto district, reportedly lost its brakes and sped uncontrollably down a steep hill before crashing into a building near Restauradores Square.
“It crashed into a building with brutal force and fell apart like a cardboard box,” witness Teresa d’Avo told local media.
