Lisbon metropolitan area — 03.09.2025: Fatal Incident on Ascensor da Glória

Lisboa, Calçada da Glória

On 3rd September 2025 at around 18:05 (local time) an accident took place on the Glória street funicular caused (most likely) by a snapped main cable.
Car 2 (on the left) rolled down the hill, but stopped at the stub-end with no structural damage.
Car 1 (on the right) rolled down the hill from a higher point, derailed and crashed into a building causing at least 16 deaths and 23 injuries.

3 сентября 2025 года около 18:05 (по местному времени) на уличном фуникулёре Глория произошла авария, причиной которой (вероятнее всего) стал обрыв несущего троса.
Вагон 2 (слева) скатился с горы, но остановился в тупике без конструктивных повреждений.
Вагон 1 (справа), находившийся выше, скатился с горы, сошёл с рельсов и врезался в здание, в результате чего погибло не менее 16 человек и 23 получили ранения.
