HAUNTING footage shows Lisbon’s famous funicular making its usual journey down the same hill where a horror crash killed at least 16.

The Gloria Funicular is one of the Lisbon's most iconic attractions and is often packed out with tourists and locals exploring the Portuguese capital.

Tragedy struck the passengers on board the streetcar when it derailed while packed full of passengers at 6.05pm local time yesterday.

One of the cars began hurtling "at full speed" from a height down the slope - completely "out of control", witnesses said.

It slammed into a building after hitting a bend, derailing in the process, and was left in a wreckage up against the wall.

Bodies were pulled from the mangled car with 21 others injured as officials warn the death toll could still rise.
