Mexican navy ship that struck Brooklyn Bridge set to be towed for repairs
The Cuauhtémoc will be towed from Pier 36 in Manhattan over to the Brooklyn Navy Yard around 6:30 a.m.
The move is expected to halt boat traffic in the area for more than an hour, causing temporary disruptions to ferry service.
NYC Ferry says a U.S. Coast Guard safety zone will be in place from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. between the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges on the East River. This may cause delays and cancellations on the Astoria, Soundview, South Brooklyn and East River routes.
New York City's Office of Emergency Management is leading the multi-agency, tightly coordinated movement.
2 killed when ship strikes Brooklyn Bridge
The update comes after two sailors, América Yamilet Sánchez and Adal Jair Maldonado Marcos, were killed and nearly two dozen crew members were injured when the ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge on May 17. It has been docked in Manhattan ever since.
The incident remains under investigation by the Mexican navy and the National Transportation Safety Board, which said it will likely know more about how and why the ship crashed sometime later this month.
Officials said the ship was pulling away from Pier 17 on its way to Iceland when it somehow drifted backwards.
The head of Mexico's navy later said a pilot from New York was in control of the ship at the time and had very little time to react. The NTSB said it's standard practice to have a local pilot help start the navigation out to sea.

New York to reclassify 30 waterways in unprecedented clean water effort
It's been more than 50 years since the passage of the Clean Water Act, but New York City's waterways continue to face contamination from combined sewer overflows. Thirty city waterways are now set to be reclassified by the State Department of Environmental Conservation in an unprecedented effort to expand areas protected for swimming and fishing. On a recent trip along the East River and Gowanus Canal, Riverkeeper's community science manager Sebastian Pillitteri gathered water samples to measure salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and bacteria that can indicate raw sewage. "One of the things that our data are answering ... is how is the water for swimming?" Pillitteri said. "Prior to the start of our sampling program, there was nobody collecting data [in] a systemic way." The collection effort, covering 247 locations across the state, helps watchdogs identify patterns of contamination and track overall water health. "Our water quality is improving. It's been improving drastically over the last 30 years," said Em Ruby, Riverkeeper's Senior Advocacy and Policy Coordinator. "And this is largely due to improvements that the city has made and up-river communities have made in treating combined sewer overflows." "This is part of a larger effort that the state has been undertaking around all of our water statewide to make sure that we are complying or following or adhering to the goals of the Clean Water Act to make all waters swimmable and fishable," said Stephanie June, DEC's Director of Water Assessment and Management. Still, June noted the challenges of dealing with aging infrastructure. "Trying to address that infrastructure that is underneath all of the development and the businesses and the homes. And also dealing with other utilities like drinking water, transportation and electricity really does complicate the issue at hand here," she said. While cleaner water doesn't always guarantee safe swimming conditions due to rainfall, currents and boat traffic, advocates say the reclassification marks a major step forward for recreation in a city surrounded by water. "There's 520 miles of coastline across New York City, and it's really important to know how the water quality is doing in each of these areas," Ruby said. The DEC plans to file a notice of adoption by Sept. 30, with the new classifications expected to become official about two weeks later. The first batch will cover 30 waterways, though some areas, including Newtown Creek on the Brooklyn-Queens border, are not on the initial list. Officials say additional reclassifications will follow in phases through 2030. Have a story idea or tip in Brooklyn? Email Hannah by CLICKING HERE.

This 75-Year-Old BBQ Chicken Recipe Still Beats Every Trendy One I've Tried
In the summer, I rotate between my air fryer, cast-iron skillet and grill depending on the weather and my mood. That's why I love recipes that work well with all three, and Cornell chicken is a perfect example. This classic barbecue dish has been around for more than 75 years, and it's still one of the best ways to make grilled chicken. Cornell chicken comes from an unlikely place. It was created by Robert Baker, a Cornell University food science professor with a passion for poultry and a deep knowledge of flavor. His vinegar-based marinade uses a handful of pantry staples, but the results are anything but basic. The chicken comes out crisp on the outside, juicy inside, and full of tangy flavor. Whether you cook it on the grill, in a skillet, or in the air fryer, this recipe proves you don't need anything fancy to get incredible results. It's simple, versatile, and perfect for summer meals. Don't miss any of CNET's unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add us as a preferred Google source on Chrome. The beauty of Cornell chicken is its simplicity. No bottled sauces, no fancy tools -- just a time-tested formula that works whether you're grilling over charcoal, gas, or even using your oven's broiler. It's one of the earliest recorded barbecue chicken recipes in the U.S., and it's still a favorite in upstate New York for good reason. One bite and it's clear: this Ivy League bird has serious backyard cred. Whether you like to cook your summer bird in an air fryer, over a cast-iron skillet or directly on the grates of your gas or pellet smoker -- I made this recipe on all three and it worked each time -- this simple and straightforward marinade is easy to make in large batches and worth adding to your rotation. What's special about Cornell chicken? Baker is a Northeast barbecue legend. Baker wrote the proverbial book on barbecue chicken, according to many, after extensive recipe testing in the 1950s. He was unhappy with the bland state of American cuisine and created this recipe to help serve tasty food en masse at large cookouts. "Cornell chicken," as it's known, is beautifully simple and remains one of the most lauded chicken marinades and summer cookout recipes. You'll find Cornell chicken served at restaurants, particularly in upstate New York, where the university is located, family picnics, food fairs and festivals across the country. What's different about Cornell chicken? Cornell chicken uses one unusual element, a beaten egg, to add a creamy coating and let the chicken skin get crispy without burning. There's also poultry seasoning for depth of flavor and vinegar to add tang and help the marinade penetrate. If you're wondering how to make Cornell chicken, it's easy -- use just five ingredients and a similar cooking method to traditional barbecue chicken. This chicken marinade is vinegar-based so it's akin more to a Carolina style than the sweet Kansas City or St. Louis styles. Baker suggests using a charcoal grill to keep unwieldy flames from cooking the skin unevenly. The barbecue chicken recipe is about as simple as it gets. Baker's cooking technique is a little more meticulous. How to make perfect Cornell chicken Ingredients Bone-in chicken pieces 1/2 cup vegetable cooking oil 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1.5 teaspoons poultry seasoning 1 beaten egg Salt and pepper to taste Let the marinade do its thing for at least three hours. David Watsky/CNET Directions Step 1 : Beat the egg. Add oil and beat again. : Beat the egg. Add oil and beat again.

The basting should be light at first and grow heavier toward the end of cooking. Step 6: Cook until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Baker recommends a charcoal grill but gas works fine, too. David Watsky/CNET Can you make Cornell chicken in an air fryer? Yes and I did. I put half of my batch in the air fryer and the other half over a hot flame the way Baker intended. Both methods worked well. The grill gave me a slightly more caramelized char while the air fryer was faster and there was less to clean up. Baker included instructions on how to build a fire pit but you can choose a charcoal or gas grill and get similar results. Can you use any chicken for Cornell chicken? Baker's original recipe calls for broilers (small whole chickens), but this recipe can be applied to any bone-in, skin-on chicken. You can use boneless, skinless chicken, but you won't get that coveted crispy skin that Baker's Cornell chicken recipe aces. As it turns out, some forum users have even experimented with using the Cornell chicken cooking recipe on wings -- to pretty immediate success. One person from the r/Wings subreddit shared their successful Cornell chicken wings, after using the same basic six-step process included in Baker's original recipe. If you don't feel like making this sauce, these are the best bottled barbecue sauces we've tried.

Aside from the obvious -- the bone-in chicken -- the apple cider vinegar is perhaps the most important part of the Cornell chicken marinade. It adds a unique "tang" and a depth of flavor that defines Baker's BBQ recipe. Adding the egg also allows the skin to crisp over, adding a great texture to bite into.
