A serious incident occurred near the Brooklyn Bridge when the Mexican Navy's training ship, the Cuauhtemoc, collided with the structure, injuring 20 people. After the ship struck the bridge, which had two masts splitting in half, three individuals were reported critically injured. The Cuauhtemoc, part of a global training voyage for cadets, was in New York to promote next year's Sail4th event. Following the mishap, the Mexican Navy addressed the incident, highlighting safety reviews and their ongoing commitment to cadet training.
Those going for a walk along the water near the Brooklyn Bridge were treated to a truly frightening scene when a ship collided with the bridge.
The vessel, built in Spain in 1982 with the sole purpose of training cadets, had been in the city as part of a promotion for next year's Sail4th tall ship event.
