Storyline: Witnesses recounted the collision of a Mexican navy sailing ship hitting Brooklyn Bridge in the New York City on Saturday evening, which resulted in two fatalities and over ten injuries. The vessel involved was the Mexican Navy ship Cuauhtemoc, carrying 277 people, with four of those injured in critical condition, said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Adams attributed the collision to a mechanical mishap. "The pilot lost power of the ship," which left from the nearby Pier 17 earlier, he said. Local residents and tourists described the chaotic scene when the collision happened. Another eyewitness speculated that after the captain lost control of the ship, the river current would have pushed the vessel into the bridge. The ship reportedly arrived in lower Manhattan on May 13 and was docked at Pier 17 in South Street Seaport. The Cuauhtemoc, a three-masted barque built in 1982, was visiting New York as part of a cultural exchange program between the U.S. and Mexico. The incident occurred when the ship's mast struck the bridge. Adams confirmed that one of the two fatalities resulted from a fall from the mast. Shotlist: New York City, USA - May 18, 2025: 1.
