According to AP News , early reports suggest a loose cable may have caused the derailment. The Glória Funicular, in service since 1885 and recognized as one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, was packed with commuters and sightseers when the accident happened.

Emergency services arrived within minutes, treating the wounded at the scene and transporting others to local hospitals.
