A historic Gloria funicular railway car in Lisbon, Portugal, derailed on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people and injuring 18 others, several critically, BBC reported.
The Gloria funicular, a landmark link between downtown and Bairro Alto, came off its tracks and struck a building. Officials suspect a loosened cable, but a formal investigation is underway.
Victims include foreign nationals, though identities have not been released.
The Portuguese government declared a national day of mourning, and Lisbon announced three days of mourning as rescue teams worked to recover and aid passengers, according to BBC.
