Massive sailing vessel collides with Brooklyn Bridge in dramatic NYC crash caught on camera
Videos posted to social media appear to show the mast of the ship crashing into the bridge just before 8:30 p.m., as passengers and nearby onlookers screamed.
The 150-foot-tall Mexican Navy training ship, Cuauhtémoc, struck the bottom side of the roadbed portion of the Brooklyn Bridge, officials with the New York Police Department (NYPD) told Fox News.
Flags and debris from the ship plummeted into the water below, as the vessel rocked back and forth, pushing its way under the landmark.
All 250 occupants onboard have been accounted for, according to the New York Fire Department (FDNY).
The ship appeared to have veered to the side after passing under the bridge, nearly crashing into a nearby pier before coming to a stop.
The NYPD Harbor Unit is on scene aiding with rescue operations.
There is no visible damage to the bridge, according to the NYPD.
"I'm praying for everyone who was on this ship that crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge this evening," New York Attorney General Letitia James wrote in a post on X. "New Yorkers should follow local guidance while our first responders do their jobs."

Teen Dies and Older Sister Injured After Their Jet Ski Crashes into Dock During Family Vacation
Their brother said their family had traveled to Florida from New York in honor of his sister's recent graduation NEED TO KNOW A teenage girl has died and her older sister was injured in a jet ski crash in Florida The incident occurred in the afternoon on Tuesday, August 12 The two teenage girls — identified by family as Rachel Aliza Nisanov, 13, Aviva Bracha Nisano, 16 — were riding together when they struck a dock A teenage girl died in a jet ski crash during a family vacation to celebrate her graduation, according to a family member. Her sister, who was driving at the time, was injured, but survived. First responders received 911 calls about the crash shortly after 3:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, August 12, a public information officer for Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. The two teenage girls — identified by family as Rachel Aliza Nisanov, 13, Aviva Bracha Nisano, 16 — were riding together when they struck a dock, according to CBS News Miami, NBC affiliate WTVJ and local news station WPLG. Both girls were rushed to Broward Health Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, but Rachel did not survive. Aviva, who was operating the jet ski at the time, remains hospitalized, reported WTVJ. The fire rescue spokesperson said it was unclear how exactly the crash occurred. Speaking about what happened, the girls' brother Yonah told WTVJ that his sisters were "coming back to the dock" when "they lost control" and hit the dock. Yonah said their family traveled to Florida from New York in honor of Rachel's recent graduation — and their father, a rabbi, was on another jet ski at the time. "My father doesn't even know how to swim, he jumped in, my sisters were unconscious, their life jackets were on, they were lying flat and my father jumped in and scraped up his hands, feet, his back all over to save them," he told the outlet. "The father … he says he looked and they were gone,' a friend of the family who also works with Florida Highway Patrol, said during an interview with WPLG. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Esteban Granados, who owns the local company that rented the jet skis to the family, told WPLG that the sisters finished an online safety course prior to taking the jet skis out on the water, but had no prior experience. 'It was their first time,' said the Prime Watersports owner. 'That's why I was stressing all the safety instructions to them." An investigation is ongoing and being handled by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Prime Watersports did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

This Secret Ingredient Makes Homemade Ice Cream Easy
The best ice cream this summer is the one you create: Make your own flavors with this easy vanilla base and five smart tips. Turn your homemade ice cream into a sundae bar with your favorite toppings. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. By Scott Loitsch Scott Loitsch, NYT Cooking's director of video, keeps a separate chest freezer filled with his homemade ice cream. Published Aug. 12, 2025 Updated Aug. 12, 2025 Imagine a cookie dough ice cream that actually has enough cookie dough in it: That's just one thrill of making your own ice cream. Sure, it requires a machine and a bit of patience, but there's nothing sweeter on a hot summer day than scooping a flavor of your creation. I fell in love with making ice cream when I was young, helping my mom manage ice and salt levels in an old-fashioned churning bucket. (She makes a fantastic chocolate.) That passion eventually led me to complete a professional ice cream course at Penn State's Department of Food Science. These days, I like to experiment with flavors based on other desserts, like peanut butter pie, with chocolate cookie pieces (the crust) and chocolate shards (the topping) rippling through creamy peanut butter ice cream (the filling). It's a recipe that captures the pie's best — and one you probably won't find at scoop shops. Half the fun of making ice cream at home is letting yourself get creative, and the base recipe here, along with the five tips below, are all you need to get started. Then, channel your inspiration into your very own dream scoop. A blend of melted chocolate and peanut butter hardens when drizzled over ice cream to create chocolaty swirls. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. The key to really delicious homemade ice cream is in the dairy aisle, but it's not heavy cream or eggs. It's cream cheese. Many at-home ice cream recipes call for egg yolks to create a creamy, scoopable custard base, but a lot of commercial options are Philadelphia-style, which is made without eggs. Instead, these commercial makers use stabilizers and sweeteners that home cooks might not be able to buy. Cream cheese already contains stabilizers, which keep the final ice cream softer, creamier and easier to scoop for a longer time. Pair it with the correct balance of milk, cream and sugar, and you'll have a base that tastes deeply of dairy but wouldn't necessarily be described as cream cheesy. In this carefully formulated recipe, it adds a slight tang to the final product that helps lift whatever flavors you choose. The addition of cream cheese to this vanilla ice cream base makes it even easier to scoop into perfect rounds. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. It's important to add the cream cheese at the last stage of this base recipe. After the milk is warmed, it's poured over room-temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and curdling. If the cream cheese is still a little cold and leaves tiny clumps, the mixture can be passed through a fine-mesh sieve. Cutting cream cheese into small cubes helps it melt smoothly into hot milk. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. Setting the base in an ice bath before transferring it to the refrigerator gives it a head start on chilling. You'll want to keep it in the fridge for a minimum of four hours (and a maximum of two days). Often referred to as the base's aging process, this time allows the flavor to develop and deepen. Think of this period as you would resting cookie dough: It lets the flavors mingle and really get to know one another. While there is some debate (notably as it relates to custard-based ice creams) over the impact of this aging process on final flavor and texture, the most compelling reason for doing it is that it guarantees a very cold base, which will churn up more smoothly. (A crucial part of the process is ensuring everything is as cold as possible so that the final freezing stages happen quickly.) Strawberry jam mixed with cream cheese creates a tangy pink swirl in these scoops. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. Aside from an ice cream maker, the only other equipment required here is a standard metal loaf pan. Its benefits are twofold: By freezing the pan before making the base, you're ensuring that the just-churned ice cream lands in an ice-cold dish, which helps minimize how much of the base melts between churning and freezing (and, as a result, how many ice crystals form). Two, the loaf pan makes easy work of layering in ripples or mix-ins. After adding half of the just-churned ice cream to the pan, swirl or layer in any additions before topping with the rest of the ice cream and mix-ins. Graham crackers are added whole to create dramatic ripples when the finished ice cream is scooped. David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. Mix-ins — and not the sweet-cream base — probably define many of your favorite flavors. (Looking at you, cookies and cream.) And it's true that swirling in saucy additions and layering in other ingredients, as with the strawberry jam and graham crackers in this cheesecake ice cream, are simple ways to create a new flavor without adjusting the base. But it's just as easy to steep herbs or crushed coffee beans in your base to make your very own fresh mint or cold brew ice cream.
