The article reports on a tragic incident involving the Mexican Navy's ship Cuauhtemoc, which crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge during a goodwill tour, leading to the death of cadet America Yamilet Sanchez and injuring 22 others, 11 critically. Veracruz Governor Rocio Nahle expressed condolences for Sanchez while New York City Mayor Eric Adams praised first responders for their quick actions. Fortunately, the Brooklyn Bridge itself remained undamaged, and traffic continued normally, though local vessels were advised to slow down near the incident area.
