US EditionMexican Navy training ship that hit Brooklyn Bridge, killing 2, was moving in the ‘wrong direction,’ city official says
- On Saturday around 8:20 p.m., the Mexican navy tall ship Cuauhtemoc struck the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, killing two sailors and injuring 19.
- The ship navigated turbulent East River waters with a turning tide, strong current, and 10 mph wind while departing New York as part of a 15-nation goodwill tour.
- The nearly 300-foot vessel's three masts toppled like dominoes as it moved in reverse at full speed, drifting toward a crowded pier and briefly halting traffic atop the 142-year-old bridge.
- Mayor Eric Adams said the bridge escaped major damage, while former mariner Sal Mercogliano called the timing and conditions 'worst-case scenarios' contributing to the crash.
- The cause remains unknown as authorities from the U.S. and Mexico launch investigations, which National Transportation Safety Board officials expect to take months to complete.
