Lisbon’s historic Glória Funicular derailed during rush hour Wednesday, reportedly killing at least 15 people and injuring 18. A child is among the injured.

The cable-pulled tram, which has carried residents and tourists for generations, came off the tracks before crashing into a nearby building.

According to AP News, early reports suggest a loose cable may have caused the derailment. The Glória Funicular, in service since 1885 and recognized as one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, was packed with commuters and sightseers when the accident happened. 

Emergency services arrived within minutes, treating the wounded and transporting others to local hospitals.
