Portugal faces a major tragedy, which Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said could hurt Lisbon’s tourism industry reliant on sites like the 140-year-old Gloria railway.

Three Britons were among the 16 killed in a funicular railway crash in Lisbon, Portuguese police said on Friday, as the mangled wreckage was removed for further analysis to establish the cause of the accident.
