Lisbon

A preliminary report says a cable that broke on the Glória funicular last month had never been certified, and mentions other failures.

Four employees of a non-profit organisation and a transport worker are among those who died.

Sixteen people died when the funicular crashed into a building in the Portuguese capital.

Heather Hall, an instructor at South Carolina's College of Charleston, was in Lisbon for a conference when she died in Wednesday's funicular crash.

The rest of the mechanism worked properly, says a preliminary statement into the crash which killed 16 people.

Kayleigh Smith and partner Will Nelson described as "selfless" and "caring" .

By the time Sonia Silva arrived at the stop, the funicular had crashed and her friend Sandra was dead.

At least 16 people died after a carriage on the city's famous Glória hillside railway derailed.
