由于电缆故障导致葡萄牙Elevador da Gloria路面电车脱轨, 16人死亡,21人受伤. 16 killed, 21 injured in Portugal's Elevador da Gloria streetcar derailment due to cable failure.

关于葡萄牙Elevador da Gloria街车致命脱轨的初步报告发现,造成16人死亡和21人受伤的事故是连接两间小木屋的电缆断裂造成的。 A preliminary report on the deadly derailment of Portugal's Elevador da Gloria streetcar found that the accident, which killed 16 and injured 21, was caused by the snapping of a cable connecting the two cabins. 这辆自1914年以来就一直使用的滑轮街车在电缆故障时失去平衡力,导致一个小木屋向下加速。 The streetcar, a funicular in use since 1914, lost its balancing force when the cable failed, causing one cabin to speed downward. 尽管有人试图使用刹车,但这些刹车还是没有效力。 Despite attempts to apply brakes, they were ineffective. 如果无法在一年内提出完整的报告,预计最后报告将在晚些时候发表,并附有一份临时报告。 A final report is expected to be published later, with an interim report if a full report isn't possible within a year.
