Very sad. Let’s just hope that this was just a tragic accident and not something that could have been prevented by proper maintenance.
I think that is a bit contradictorary. Unless there is an earthquake or other mayor event, technical systems should not fail under proper maintenance. Especially if the system has been operated since more than a hundred years now.
That realistically only leaves inadequate maintenance or sabotage. Both aren’t “tragic accidents”.

Even if you have adequate maintenance , there is always the possibility you use a defective part.
I start the radio, France Info, host is interviewing a woman ans says “there’s international coverage because there are so many tourists in Lisbon”.
A bit unsensitive but whatever.I missed the beginning so I look it up, and the first article is France Info again: “18 deaths, no French victims”
Specifying because your fellow citizens are part of the victims is one thing, but just saying there aren’t feels chauvinistic.
welcome to western world.
