A search and rescue mission is in progress following the collision of a naval training vessel, outfitted with a prominent Mexican flag, with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on Saturday evening. This incident caused passengers to fall into the murky waters below.

Footage shared on social media seems to capture the moment the ship’s mast hit the bridge shortly before 8:30 p.m., accompanied by the terrified shouts of passengers and nearby spectators.

The 150-foot-tall Mexican Navy training ship, named Cuauhtémoc, collided with the lower part of the Brooklyn Bridge’s roadbed. This information was provided by officials from the New York Police Department (NYPD) to Fox News.

Flags and debris from the ship plummeted into the water below, as the vessel rocked back and forth, pushing its way under the landmark.

All 250 occupants onboard have been accounted for, according to the New York Fire Department (FDNY).

The ship appeared to have veered to the side after passing under the bridge, nearly crashing into a nearby pier before coming to a stop.

The NYPD Harbor Unit is on scene aiding with rescue operations.

There is no visible damage to the bridge, according to the NYPD.

“I’m praying for everyone who was on this ship that crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge this evening,” New York Attorney General Letitia James wrote in a post on X. “New Yorkers should follow local guidance while our first responders do their jobs.”
