Portuguese authorities were investigating on Thursday what caused a funicular railway popular with tourists to derail and hurtle down a hill in Lisbon, killing at least 17 people and injuring 21 when it crashed into a building.

Portugal’s Prime Minister Luis Montenegro called it "one of the biggest human tragedies" ever in the Iberian country.

Authorities confirmed one Canadian was one of the injured victims transported to hospital.
