The Mexican navy training ship Cuauhtemoc, carrying 277 individuals, tragically crashed into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge, resulting in the deaths of two cadets and injuries to 20 others, 11 critically. The ship had set off from Acapulco two weeks prior and was on a global tour aimed at promoting naval education and goodwill. The mission commemorated Mexico's naval history and independence, with planned stops in various countries. Despite the accident, the Brooklyn Bridge sustained minimal damage, and an investigation is underway to determine the incident's cause.
According to Mayor Eric Adams, the vessel, named Cuauhtemoc, was carrying 277 people when it crashed on Saturday into the bridge.
The Cuauhtemoc started its journey from Acapulco two weeks before it crashed into New York's Brooklyn Bridge.
