A Mexican navy tall ship, ARM Cuauhtémoc, crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, snapping its mast and causing the deaths of two sailors while injuring 17 others. The NTSB confirmed the bridge was not structurally damaged. The ship lost power while navigating an East River current, prompting emergency calls just before the crash. Investigators are looking into the effectiveness of a tugboat that was assisting the vessel, and they are coordinating with the Mexican government to interview crew members. Meanwhile, the ship remains docked for repairs while the crew continues living aboard.
