The National Transportation Safety Board has acknowledged that they have not yet boarded the Mexican navy ship that collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, nor have they interviewed the pilots involved.

There are still unanswered questions regarding the circumstances under which trainee sailors managed to collide with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City during daylight hours on Saturday, resulting in two fatalities and injuries to at least 19 individuals.

Witnesses were shocked as the ship’s 300-foot tall masts snapped upon impact with the bridge, while frantic sailors clung on in a fight for survival.

Nearly 300 crewmembers had joined the voyage to celebrate the end of the training by conducting an international trip as they proudly flew the Mexican flag.

But for some reason, the newly certified soldiers appeared to lose control of the engine, and couldn’t stop the boat in time to prevent the crash.

On Monday, the NTSB said they’re working hard to get their hands on timely evidence to determine a cause, but they warned that the investigation could take months.

They gave an updated timeline of the ship’s last moves, and said it was docked in New York City on May 13 around noon.

Michael Graham, an NTSB member, insisted that the Brooklyn Bridge didn’t suffer any structural damages, saying that only a walkway used by surveyors was affected.

The pilot’s attorney addressed the tug boat that was seen floating beside the Cuauhtemoc, and said they’re looking into the pilot’s relationship with the crash.

They confirmed that the tug boat helped the Mexican ship launch from the pier, but weren’t sure what it was doing at the moment of the crash.
