US Edition2 sailors killed after Mexican Navy tall ship smashes into Brooklyn Bridge
- On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the Mexican Navy sailing vessel Cuauhtemoc collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, resulting in the deaths of two sailors.
- The ship lost power due to a preliminary reported mechanical problem and was not supposed to be heading toward the bridge after leaving a Manhattan pier.
- The Cuauhtemoc, a 297-foot training vessel with a 160-foot main mast, struck the bridge’s span at about 8:20 p.m., snapping all three masts one by one while onboard pandemonium erupted and sailors dangled from harnesses.
- Of the 277 people aboard, 22 were injured with at least 19 needing medical treatment, and Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the 142-year-old bridge sustained no major damage.
- The collision’s cause remains under investigation, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed condolences and the vessel’s goodwill tour plans were affected after arriving in New York on May 13.
