US EditionCrew Members of Tall Ship that Collided with Brooklyn Bridge Return Home to Mexico
- On May 19, 2025, the Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtemoc sustained damage and fatalities after its masts struck the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
- The collision took place as the vessel was rapidly reversing under power shortly after leaving a dock in Manhattan, potentially due to a mechanical malfunction.
- The tall masts struck the 142-year-old bridge's main span, snapping off topmasts and partially collapsing the masts while some cadets dangled from harnesses aloft.
- Two crew members, including 20-year-old América Yamilet Sánchez who fell from a mast, died; at least 19 of the 277 sailors needed medical care, and two cadets remain hospitalized.
- Many crew members have returned to Mexico's naval school in Veracruz, the crippled Cuauhtemoc remains docked in Manhattan, and the investigation by the US safety board is expected to take months.
