Lisbon Funicular Crash: A Cable's Role?

A tragic funicular accident in Lisbon claimed sixteen lives and injured many more on Wednesday evening.

Videos of the wreckage show a badly damaged cable linking the two cars, raising suspicion of cable failure.

Experts speculate that a cable malfunction might have caused one car to plummet uncontrollably, causing the disaster.

Portuguese authorities have launched a full investigation, aiming to uncover the precise cause of this terrible event.
