16 killed, 21 injured in Portugal's Elevador da Gloria streetcar derailment due to cable failure.
A preliminary report on the deadly derailment of Portugal's Elevador da Gloria streetcar found that the accident, which killed 16 and injured 21, was caused by the snapping of a cable connecting the two cabins.
The streetcar, a funicular in use since 1914, lost its balancing force when the cable failed, causing one cabin to speed downward.
Despite attempts to apply brakes, they were ineffective.
A final report is expected to be published later, with an interim report if a full report isn't possible within a year.
