There is a palpable sense of shoke on the faces of people at the wreckage of a funicular crash in the Portuguese capital where 16 people died - but a three-year-old German boy was among the lucky survivors.
He was pulled from the carriage where his father reportedly died and his mother was among 20 other people who were injured.
Nationals of Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Canada, Germany and Ukraine are believed to be among the dead, police say.
It is still unclear what caused the crash. The capital's public transport operator, Carris, said all funiculars would be inspected and that it had launched an independent investigation.
