The Mexican Navy reported that the ship, Cuauhtemoc, crashed into New York's Brooklyn Bridge without issuing distress calls prior to the impact. Navy chief Raymundo Morales stated that the port pilot did not have enough time to stop the vessel, which had just departed from Pier 17 in lower Manhattan. The accident resulted in two fatalities and 20 injuries. The ongoing investigation will assess the possibility of engine failure and the role of a tug boat in the accident, which is expected to take at least 30 days to complete.
