A devastating accident in central Lisbon has left at least 16 people dead and dozens more injured after the iconic Glória funicular derailed and crashed into a building near Liberty Avenue. The 140-year-old cable car, designated a national monument and cherished tourist attraction, reportedly lost control while descending a steep hill due to brake failure. Emergency responders worked rapidly to free trapped passengers, while eyewitnesses described the terrifying moments leading up to the crash. In response, Portugal has declared a national day of mourning to honor the victims.
