Mexican Navy sailing ship hits Brooklyn Bridge
Mexican Navy sailing ship hits Brooklyn Bridge A Mexican training ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, the American Embassy in Mexico said in an online post. A Mexican Navy training sailing ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge on May 17, shearing the top of its masts and causing 19 injuries, authorities said. New York Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference that four people had serious injuries. All of the injuries happened on the ship, authorities said. The New York Police Department said to avoid the bridge. Videos online showed the ship sailing underneath the bridge, connecting the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan, as its masts, apparently strung with festive lights, collided with it. A car can be seen driving across the bridge during the collision. In the videos, many people dressed in what appeared to be white sailor uniforms could be seen dangling from the ship's crossbeams. At the base of the bridge, near New York City's South Street Seaport, bystanders could be seen running away from the approaching ship. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the @SEMAR_mx training ship Cuauhtémoc incident at the Brooklyn Bridge.

CNN reported Mexican Navy spokesman Capt. Juan Caballero said the ship was on an annual training cruise. The suspension bridge, a popular tourist attraction, and a main conduit between Manhattan and Brooklyn, was completed in 1883. Reuters contributed.
