Three people were killed in the collapse of Lisbon's iconic cable car, "Glória Funicular." According to reports in Portuguese media, about 20 others were injured and several people remain trapped. The circumstances of the accident are unclear at this time. The collapsed cable car is one of Lisbon's symbols and is especially popular among tourists. It is a funicular - a cable car whose carriages are pulled by a cable and transport passengers in a steep area, similar to the Carmelit in Haifa (although the latter is underground, unlike the Lisbon cable car).
