Federal investigators confirmed that the Brooklyn Bridge passed a vulnerability test despite a collision with a Mexican Navy ship, which caused no significant structural damage. Although a platform for maintenance was damaged, the bridge's integrity remains intact. The NTSB is closely monitoring bridge safety following previous incidents, like the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. They emphasized the need for vulnerability assessments to prevent such occurrences, noting the collision occurred at a low speed, falling within acceptable risk thresholds.
