The Mexican Navy's tall ship, Cuauhtémoc, collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, resulting in the deaths of two sailors and injury to more than 20 others. Navy chief Raymundo Morales reported that the ship did not issue distress signals and that the port pilot had limited time to react. U.S. officials are investigating potential mechanical failures and the role of a tugboat in the accident. Despite the crash's severity, the bridge sustained no structural damage, and the injured cadets are expected to recover.
The Navy chief, Raymundo Morales, stated that the port pilot did not have adequate time to stop the Cuauhtémoc, which was docked near the bridge.
Footage captured the disastrous moment the ship struck the bridge, resulting in snapped masts and sailors desperately clinging to the rigging ropes.
Morales confirmed two severely injured cadets are receiving care in New York, stating that their lives are not in danger and they will likely be released soon.
U.S. officials are investigating the incident further, with inquiries focused on potential engine failure and the involvement of a tugboat that supported the ship's maneuvering.
