A historic Mexican naval training ship, the Cuauhtémoc, crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, resulting in two fatalities and over twenty injuries. The vessel, carrying 277 people, lost power, causing it to veer into the bridge. Reports indicate that sailors on the masts suffered injuries. Mayor Eric Adams and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo expressed condolences. A full investigation is ongoing, with preliminary details suggesting a mechanical failure led to the accident. The ship was set to sail for Iceland and had just docked at the Seaport Museum shortly before the incident.
"At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries."
"The captain of the ship lost power, and the mechanical malfunction led the ship to veer toward the bridge."
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of two crew members of the Cuauhtémoc Training Ship, who lost their lives in the unfortunate accident in New York Harbor."
"All information provided so far was preliminary and subject to change, with a full investigation underway."
