A tragic incident occurred on Saturday when a Mexican Navy training ship, the Cuauhtemoc, collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, leading to the deaths of two crew members and injuries to 19 others. The ship's masts struck the bridge during a promotional tour, causing partial damage. Witnesses reported panic aboard the vessel, with sailors in precarious positions as the masts broke. While the bridge itself was largely undamaged, the cause of the collision is under investigation, with officials stressing the importance of safety moving forward.
At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries.
Multiple eyewitness videos captured the masts snapping and partially collapsing as they crashed into the bridge's deck.
