On May 17, the Cuauhtemoc, a training vessel of the Mexican Navy, crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge due to a loss of power, shearing off two masts. Initial reports indicated 20 injuries, with three critical cases, but sadly, two sailors later died from their injuries. The Navy confirmed an official review of the incident while affirming their commitment to personnel safety. New York Mayor Eric Adams expressed gratitude for first responders' quick actions during the crisis, which could have resulted in even worse outcomes for those on board.
During the sailing maneuver of the Cuauhtémoc sailboat in New York, a mishap occurred with the Brooklyn Bridge, causing damage to the training ship.
The Navy reaffirms its commitment to personnel safety, transparency in its operations, and excellent training for future officers of the Mexican Navy.
We are praying for everyone on board and their families and are grateful to our first responders who quickly jumped into action.
Authorities later revealed the ship, used for sail training and goodwill tours to other nations, lost power just before crashing into the bridge.
