Portugal's president, PM visit site of Lisbon's funicular accident

Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and Prime Minister Luis Montenegro visited on Sept. 4, 2025 the site of the funicular accident in Lisbon. After a mass in honor of the 16 fatalities of the crash, President Rebelo da Sousa told journalists that it was a time to mourn and to accompany their families. The mangled wreckage of a yellow tram-like carriage, which carries people up and down a steep hillside in the Portuguese capital, lay where it had left the track and hit a building on Sept. 3, just meters from its twin at the bottom of the steep 265-metre slope. The traction cable linking them had snapped.
