A preliminary report on Lisbon's fatal funicular crash reveals a connecting cable snapped, causing the two cabins to lose balance and derail. The cable had passed a visual inspection hours earlier. The accident, involving a 1914 streetcar, killed 16 and injured 21. Two independent investigations are underway, one by the GPIAAF and another by prosecutors. A preliminary report is due within 45 days, with a final report expected within a year.
