“The boat came under the bridge, and on the boat there were seafarers, the sails hit the bridge and then people fell from the boat sailing,” said Elijah West, who witnessed the terrifying crash in the park.

“It was crazy. We stood under the bridge and we all started running. Then I saw people who hang on the sails. Police boats got around quickly – about five minutes later. And then the police led the boat to the boat to the boat [Manhattan] Bridge and started the rescue. It was a shock. “

According to firefighters and sources, two people were killed and 17 injured, including four critical.

“We celebrated and sung and sang,” said Ismari Romero, 43, who experienced the terrible incident from Pier 17 on the Manhattan page with her sister and other Mexicans who wanted to welcome the ship on Big Apple and feel at home. “

“For a moment I thought the boat could somehow crash into the parking area where people were. I started running away, everyone ran … everyone was shocked and then we saw a lot of police and heard sirens. I saw how people hang there.”

Robert Kwiatkowski was at High Tide in the Fulton Ferry District, when the jubilation broke out when the festive ship drove past – but these cheers quickly turned to horrified groves.

“Everyone cheered at the bar and were enthusiastic about it because it was so close, and next they know that the masts reached the bottom of the bridge,” he said.
