A heartbroken wife who watched her husband perish in the harrowing Lisbon tram disaster has detailed their final moments together.
Hind Iguernane and her husband, Aziz Benharref, of Ottawa, were both on board the doomed Gloria Funicular when the famous attraction slammed into a building after a cable snapped on September 3.
While Iguernane survived the horror crash that left 16 dead and 21 injured, her 42-year-old husband did not make it.
'Very, very fast, like going in the highway and everyone was screaming,' Iguernane recalled to CTV from a hospital bed with a fractured hip and shoulder.
'It was very scary. It crashed. I didn’t see him. I called him; I was calling Aziz and he didn’t answer.'
