A Lisbon streetcar derailment resulted in 16 deaths and over 20 injuries. Among the victims were citizens from several countries, including Portugal, Britain, Canada, and South Korea. A three-year-old German boy was rescued, but his father died and his mother is critically injured. The streetcar, a national monument, underwent daily inspections. Investigations by police, authorities, and the operating company are underway. The incident prompted a national day of mourning in Portugal.
