New Yorkers observe how the Mexican shipping ship beats the Brooklyn Bridge

Joyous singed to scream on Saturday evening when the New Yorkers, who sent a Mexican shipping ship on a goodwill tour, were horrified and observed in dislike when the ship hit the Brooklyn bridge.

Ismari Romero and her sister Miriam had in contact with some of the 277 seafarers on board the Cuauhtémoc – and even gave them a tour of the Big Apple, while the majestic ship was docked this week in the South Street Seaport.

“We celebrated and say goodbye and sang. We were all happy and they left,” said Romero, 43, the post. “And when they reached the Brooklyn Bridge, I think they hit the bridge and collapsed the top.

“We were very scared. Many people screamed, many people cried. They are like:” How did that happen? How is that possible? “The health worker remembered.

The 50 -year -old Miriam Romero was among a group of Mexican -American New Yorkers, who came out as Cuauhtémoc on Tuesday as a sailing in New York when they welcomed the Cuauhtémoc.

“We were proud that the Mexican naval school in New York was visiting,” said Ismari.

The ship, including 277 crew members, is located on an eight -month training tour with 22 ports in 15 countries. New York was the third stop on a trip that included visits to Jamaica, Iceland and Portugal.

After a welcome ceremony, Miriam showed seven of the seafarers in the city center of Manhattan, including Pier 26 and Canal Street.

They packed pizza and then went over the Brooklyn Bridge – without knowing the horror that developed days later and injured two people for the dead and 17 people.

“I have a son who is a US navy. So that's particularly emotional,” said Ismari Romero.

The Cuauhtémoc was built in Spain in 1982 with the sole purpose of training of cadets.

The video showed the 147-foot high mast of the ship, which was decorated in lights and along the East River sailed and ran directly into the almost 1,600 foot high span of the historical bridge.

The arrival of the Cuauhtémoc residents gave Big Apple a preview of the Sail4th event next year, which celebrates America's 250th birthday.

The mission of the Cuauhtémoc is to “increase the spirit of seafaring, to strengthen the naval training and to carry the message of peace and the goodwill of the Mexican people to the seas and ports of the world,” said the Mexican Navy.
