On September 3, 2025, a tragic accident has happened on Lisbon's historical funicular. What I am confused about is whether any similar accidents have happened in the past. For one, plenty of news sources make no mention about earlier accidents with the Lisbon funiculars, such as france24.com or rr.pt , to cite just two examples. This would be unusual if there had been any; at least some news outlets typically mention if something similar has happened before in the same context.
