Famed streetcar in Lisbon, Portugal, derails and crashes, killing 15 people

On Wednesday afternoon one of Lisbon's funiculars slide down Glória killing 16 and injuring 21 others. It's a horrendous affair and I wish I was writing about these 19th century funiculars during a better time. Portugal declared Thursday a national day of mourning and have halted operation of all funiculars until an investigation is completed.
