Fifteen dead and 18 injured as tram smashes into building in Portugal

The tragedy occurred after one of the cables came loose along the railway's route, causing it to lose control and career down a steep hill before colliding with a building.

Was only on this a few weeks ago. It didn't seem very safe at all.

Those things scare the shit out of me.

I went on one in Pittsburgh 2 years ago, and it looked like it was falling apart. My colleagues, who were local, were laughing and taking the piss. Then, half way up it started sliding backwards and the safety cable cut in and we stopped abruptly. It felt like we were about to slide at full speed to our deaths.

I'll walk next time.

Has anyone ever been Goynuk/Kemer area of Turkey? Going out there next weekend, and fancy doing a bit of snorkeling and a boat trip maybe

Nashville is crazy but fun, not sure Memphis was as good but was worth the visit and we visited Graceland which was a good day trip, long way from Nashville in the car but easy driving. The Peabody ducks in memphis is strange but traditional

Can anybody recommend a tour company to do the day trip from Nashville to Memphis? (Or even a private transfer).

The only ones I can find that seem available are on the Saturday which is the day before we fly back and don’t really fancy doing a massive long day and then having to be out of our AirBnB by 10am!
