Two people died and 17 others were injured after a Mexican Navy training ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Sunday.
“Earlier tonight, the Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc lost power and crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge”, Adams posted on X.

“Currently, out of the 277 people on board, 19 have been injured. Among them, 2 are in critical condition, and unfortunately, 2 others have succumbed to their injuries.”

The training ship slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late on Saturday local time, snapping all three of its masts as it collided with the New York City landmark.
According to multiple US media reports, around 200 people were on the Cuauhtémoc, a barque built in 1982 with a mast height of 48.2 meters, at the time of the collision.
The Cuauhtémoc had been on a training manoeuvre at the time and was damaged in the “mishap,” the Mexican Navy said in a separate statement on X.
“The Ministry of the Navy reaffirms its commitment to the safety of its personnel, transparency in its operations and excellence in the training of future officers of the Mexican Navy,” it said.
This is a developing story and this article will be updated.
