LISBON (Reuters) -Problems with a cable likely caused a Lisbon funicular railwaypopular with tourists to hurtle down a hill, killing at least 16people and injuring another 22 when it crashed into a building, according to a preliminary report.
The yellow tram-like carriage, which carries people up and down a steep hillside in the Portuguese capital, hit a building after leaving the track on Wednesday, just metres from its twin at the bottom of a steep hill.
