At least two people were killed and 19 others injured after a Mexican Navy training sailing ship collided with the iconic Brooklyn Bridge during a promotional tour on Saturday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said.

"At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries," Adams posted on X.


Nick Corso, a witness, told AFP that it looked like there was a lot of panic aboard the vessel with "lots of screaming" and "some sailors hanging from the masts."

The Cuauhtemoc, a barque built in 1982 with a mast height of 48.2 meters (158 feet) had been on a training maneuver at the time and was damaged in the "mishap," a statement posted by the Mexican Navy on X said.

The cause of the collision is under investigation.

It seems the americans failed to inform the sailers about the high tides

Wtf Is going on on that shithole called America, that they cant tell when the fucking high tides are in?

>>1406892
Why are you blaming the Americans for the incompetence of the taco slinging retards?
It's not their fault those lazy sombrero wearing fucks are so stupid.

>>1406892
The tide, bridge clearance and everything else is the most accessable information. It is gross negligence by the captain and crew.

Bridges have big rulers painted on them to tell you the clearance remaining.

Was there, saw it happen live
Pretty surreal; i didnt realize what was about to happen until the first mast snapped off. Crazy shit.
Whoever the pilot of the ship was, theyre definitely getting fired

>>1406897
>theyre definitely getting fired
going to jail

Mexican navy is killing Americans.

Thanks, Trump.

WHAT were they THINKING!?!?

Reporting is the ship lost power. This wasn't a forgot to check the measurements situation. It was never intended to go under the bridge.

>>1406914
Is it really too much to ask that foreign boats don't suddenly lose power and start 9-11'ing our bridges tho?

>>1406915
It'd be a shame if they did 9/11 us, then Trump and other Republicunts may want to suck Mexican dicks like they are with the Saudis

>>1406915
>Is it really too much to ask that foreign boats don't suddenly lose power and start 9-11'ing our bridges tho?
Pretty sure most boats are foreign, both because most of the world is foreign and because there are various incentives for flagging ships for foreign countries over the USA, so probably. It's on us to build better bridges and/or put in place physical barriers and stricter rules regarding maritime traffic such that dangerous traffic can't get near bridges.

>>1406915
The two people who died were on the ship. Everyone on the bridge was just lightly rattled.

>>1406894
>. It is gross negligence by the captain and crew.
The Mexican crew was high on the fentanyl Brown heroin and cocaine that they were smuggling in. A NY MERCHANT swindler told them that he owned the Brooklyn bridge and had so sold it to the Mexicans and gave the Mexican sailors a button to push to raise the Brooklyn bridge. Needless to say, the button didn't work

>>1406894
They lost power on-board.

>>1406919
>It's on us to build better bridges
There's virtually no damage to the Brooklyn bridge. The bridge was built fine and had no problem demolishing the poorly engineered Mexican naval craft or killing its crew of drunken sailors

>>1406935
>There's virtually no damage to the Brooklyn bridge.
This time.
>The bridge was built fine and had no problem demolishing the poorly engineered Mexican naval craft
The ship was engineered in Spain and designed as a training vessel. It's not really intended to ram down a bridge.

the cause is a mexican drove the boat

>>1406948
The cause is the East River

>>1406941
>It's not really intended to ram down a bridge
And yet that's what the Mexicans did with it

You can't ask for accidents to not happen.

>>1406885 (OP)
Hey, I know this ship. Guess it's not gonna make it for this year's race.

>>1407045

>>1406901
Yeah, probably
