An American and two Canadians are feared to be among at least 17 dead in a horror tram crash in Portugal's capital city of Lisbon.
Authorities have not yet released the identities of all of the victims in the tragedy in Lisbon on Wednesday, but said there was a 'high degree of certainty' that the American and two Canadians were deceased.
As of Thursday, the only person who has been identified as a fatality of the crash André Jorge Gonçalves Marques, a brakeman for the tram.
A Ukrainian and a German national were also among the dead, with survivors saying the city's iconic Elevador da Glória funicular derailed and slammed into a hotel corner building as it made its descent towards the city centre.
Lisbon resident Abel Esteves, 75, and his wife and grandson were among 40 passengers in a separate tram just below the one that derailed, and described the horror scenes as it flew off the tracks.
