There is a palpable sense of shock on the faces of people gathering at the site of a major funicular crash in the Portuguese capital as they hear of how a three-year-old German boy was pulled alive from the wreckage - a lucky survivor of Wednesday's terrible crash which killed 16 people.
The boy's father was reportedly killed and his mother injured in the crash. It is still unclear what caused the crash, in which more than 20 other people were injured, including many foreign nationals.
The capital's public transport operator, Carris, said all funiculars would be inspected and that it had launched an independent probe into the incident.
Police and prosecutors are also investigating the crash.
One local resident told the BBC she was "still processing" what had happened as she walked past the site of the crash, where the wreckage of the funicular that had derailed and crashed into a building lay on the ground.
