Mexican tall ship strikes Brooklyn Bridge, snapping masts and killing 2 crew members
Briefly

A Mexican navy ship, Cuauhtemoc, on a goodwill tour, crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, leading to the deaths of two crew members and injuries to at least 19 others. The collision occurred while the ship was traveling in reverse towards the bridge. Eyewitnesses reported seeing sailors in distress, some stranded from the damaged masts. Fortunately, no bystanders on the bridge were harmed. An investigation into the cause of the incident is currently underway.
We saw someone dangling, and I couldn't tell if it was just blurry or my eyes, and we were able to zoom in on our phone and there was someone dangling from the harness from the top for like at least like 15 minutes before they were able to rescue them.
Just before the collision, Nick Corso, 23, took his phone out to capture the backdrop of the ship and the bridge against a sunset, Instead, he heard what sounded like the loud snapping of a 'big twig.' Several more snaps followed.
