Mexican naval ship rams into Brooklyn Bridge, injuring at least 3
A towering Mexican naval sailboat making a festive journey through New York City's East River collided with the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday evening, snapping its masts and injuring at least three people as onlookers screamed and as some fled the walkway along the water. The ARM Cuauhtémoc, a 147-foot-tall Mexican naval ship built more than 40 years ago in Spain, was shown in social media videos sailing along the river when it slowly crashed into the bridge, causing two of its masts to break and dangle in the air as it started to ground to a halt. The ship had attracted the attention of admirers before the crash, its brightly-lit string lights, Mexican flags and dozens of white sails glowing against the evening skyline.
