2 sailors killed after Mexican Navy tall ship smashes into Brooklyn Bridge

 

A Mexican Navy tall ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge on May 17, killing two sailors and injuring 19 others on board the craft as the tops of its masts were sheared off, authorities said.

 

"We are praying for everyone on board and their families and are grateful to our first responders who quickly jumped into action, ensuring this accident wasn’t much worse," New York Mayor Eric Adams said on X.

Authorities said the Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc, used for sail training and goodwill tours to other nations, lost power just before crashing into the bridge at about 8:20 p.m. ET. Of the 277 on board, two were killed and 19 suffered injuries, fire officials said. Two of the injured were in critical condition.

 

Videos online showed the ship sailing underneath the bridge, connecting the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan, as its masts, apparently strung with festive lights, collided with it. A car can be seen driving across the bridge during the collision. Fire officials said 277 people were on board the ship at the time of the crash.
