The Cuauhtémoc, a Mexican Navy training ship, crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, resulting in two deaths and injuring 27 others. The incident is being investigated, particularly the ship's engine and the tugboat's role. Eyewitness videos depict the ship in reverse before it struck the bridge, causing its masts to collapse. The lead investigator, Brian Young, emphasized examining the engine status and crew testimonies in determining the cause of the crash. The ship was headed for Iceland after leaving Pier 17 when the tragedy unfolded.
"The Cuauhtemoc was backing out of Pier 17 near the Brooklyn Bridge... rapidly approaching the bridge before its three 147-foot masts hit the underside..."
"We will look at the status of the engine, we will look for any failures, we will look for engine inspections..."
