Mexico mourns two cadets in the naval of the country who were killed on Saturday when the high training ship Cuauhtémoc fell against Brooklyn Bridge.

América Sánchez (20) and Adal Jair Maldonado Marcos (23) died in the wreck, which injured 22 other crew members, including three.

Two of the critically injured stayed in the hospital from Monday afternoon, said officials.

Sánchez's body was to be brought to the Naval Academy in her home state Veracruz on Monday. She was a marine club last year and was part of the international training cruise, which was supposed to visit 15 countries.

Sánchez 'mother, Rocío Hernández, said her daughter was “exemplary” and “a committed student” who dreamed of becoming a naval engineer.

“She was a warrior, a soldier who did not give up and always fought for her goals,” Hernández said, according to BBC. She said that Mexico's marine would hold a private ceremony for her at the naval academy before bringing her home.

In the meantime, friends and relatives of Maldonado have reportedly paid their respect in San Mateo del Mar, a coastal city in the state of Oaxaca. His friends told the local media that he had dreamed of entering his father's footsteps as a sailor.

An investigation of the crash on Saturday remains. It could take a year.

The commercial water traffic near the wreck was hung on Monday.

According to the New York police, the Cuauhtémoc, who had 277 people on board, lost power when it left the New York port to Iceland and was pulled by the current towards Brooklyn Bridge. His three masts with more than 157 feet (48 m) collided with the base of the bridge, the release of which is about 41 m.

According to reports, the ship had a local harbor pilot who was familiar with the conditions of the water – and a pilot who led the ship. At least one was on board at the time of the crash.

Spectators conquered the moments when the ship collided with the bridge that collapsed all three masts of the ship.

The ship left Acapulco, Mexico, on April 6th and should be under a global goodwill tour in Aberdeen, Scotland in Aberdeen.

By Monday, 179 cadets had triggered from the Cuauhtémoc and went home, said a spokesman for the New York City government. Another 94 crew members remained on board at that time.

The National Transportation Safety Board should hold a press conference to present updates to the examination on Monday afternoon.
