The devastating cable car crash that took the lives of 16 people in Lisbon last Wednesday (September 3) has taken a turn no one saw coming: one of the victims believed to have passed away, leaving behind a rescued toddler, has now been found alive.

The German man, who was traveling with his wife and young son aboard the Glória Funicular when it derailed and slammed into a building, was initially thought to have sustained fatal injuries.

While his toddler was pulled from the mangled wreckage alive, and his wife was rushed to Santa Maria Hospital in critical condition, many thought they would have to deal with the trauma of losing their loved one.

Now, a physical examination has proven early reports to be false, bringing much needed hope to a tragedy that has shaken Portugal to its core.
