LISBON (Reuters) -At least three people died on Wednesday when Lisbon’s Gloria funicular, which is popular with tourists, derailed and crashed, leaving also around 20 people injured, the emergency services said.
Footage from the site showed the tram-like funicular, which carries people up and down a hillside in the Portuguese capital, practically destroyed and emergency workers pulling people out of the wreckage.
It was not immediately clear what had caused the crash.
