A Mexican marine sailing ship met on Saturday during an advertising trip in New York City on the Brooklyn Bridge, the tip of his mast, which drove the legendary span through the East River.

Eric Adams, Mayor of New York City, said two people were killed in the incident – another 19 people were injured, including two critical. There were 277 people on board the ship – the Cuauhtémoc – when it lost to power and hit the bridge, said Adams.

In a scene that was recorded in several eyewitness videos, three masts of the ship were able to see and partially collapsed when they joined the deck of the bridge. Videos showed heavy traffic in the time of the collision. The ship, which flew a huge green, white and red Mexican flag, then dipped to the edge of the river when the spectators fell away from the shore.

The Mexican Navy said in a post on the social platform X that the Cuauhtémoc, a training ship of the academy, was damaged in an accident with the Brooklyn Bridge that prevented it from continuing. It also added that the status of the staff and material of naval and local authorities was checked that supported support.

“The secretary of the Navy renews her commitment to the security of the staff, transparency in your business and excellent training for future officials from Mexican Armada,” said Spanish.

Sydney Neidell and Lily Katz told the Associated Press that they were sitting outside to watch the sunset when they saw the ship on the bridge and one of his mast snapshots. When they looked closer, they saw someone who was high on the ship.

“We saw someone dangling and I couldn't say whether it was just blurred or my eyes, and we were able to zoom on on our phone, and at least 15 minutes before they could save them, someone was dangling from above,” said Katz.

They said they had seen two people who pulled out of the ship on the stock exchanges on smaller boats.
