Tragedy on the East River: Mexican Navy Ship Collides with Brooklyn Bridge

A Mexican Navy training ship, the Cuauhtémoc, struck the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night, snapping its three towering masts and killing two crew members. The vessel, which was on a global goodwill tour, was carrying 277 people when the collision occurred near the Brooklyn side of the East River. 

Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene as sailors were left dangling from harnesses high above the deck, waiting for rescue. The impact also left at least 19 people injured, with four suffering serious injuries. 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that the historic bridge sustained no major damage, and traffic resumed after an inspection. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, though preliminary reports suggest the ship may have lost power due to a mechanical failure. 

The Cuauhtémoc, a 297-foot-long vessel, had arrived in New York earlier in the week and was scheduled to continue its journey to Iceland. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed condolences to the families of the deceased crew members, calling the incident a tragic loss. 

Authorities are now working to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision, as the maritime community mourns the lives lost in this devastating accident.
