Mexican Navy ship crashes into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge

At least 22 people have been injured and three remain in a serious condition after a tall Mexican Navy training ship crashed into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge, the Mexican Navy says.

Footage has emerged showing towering masts of the Cuauhtémoc clipping the bridge as the sailing vessel was passing under the famous structure on Saturday evening.

Parts of the masts reportedly fell on the deck, with US media reporting multiple injuries as members of the crew were standing on the masts at the time of collision.

New York City's Emergency Management (NYCEM) said it was "responding to an incident", without giving any further details. Brooklyn Bridge has not sustained any damage, the mayor of New York said.

The Mexican Navy confirmed that the ship was damaged, saying the incident was being investigated.

Crowds who were watching the ship's trajectory fled from the water's edge as the masts collided with the bridge.

New York City's Fire Department confirmed that authorities were responding to injuries, reports CBS, BBC's US partner.

The department said it had no details about how many people might have been hurt or whether they were on the vessel or on the bridge.

In a statement on X, NYCEM said "the situation is developing and details are not confirmed at this time".

The mayor of New York Eric Adams is at the scene and has been briefed on the situation, CBS reported.

NYPD told residents to avoid the area of Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport in Manhattan, and Dumbo in Brooklyn.

"Expect heavy traffic and a large presence of emergency vehicles in the surrounding area," police said on X.

Media reports say the Cuauhtémoc had more than 200 crew on board.

It was in New York City on a goodwill visit.

A similar incident occurred in March last year when a ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.

New York hates Trump

So ships too can fall break?

So sad

this is sad

I'm confused. Do modern ships still use sails? How much more a navy ship? That's too outdated for a country's Navy team.

Break and pay simple.

Eat the tariffs
Mexico will pay for the wall

Why is it that Mexicans don't blame their president for all these accidents online like we do?

Like ships built in the 1800s.

Joke

It may be a parade ship for ceremonials, maybe in the US for maintenance or some upgrades... If this Ship enters war like this, ordinary gun boats go finish am😂😂

ghghhg

Jack Sparrow has hijacked the ship and it's crew.


That's mutiny going on there , and the black pearl ship now has a new captain. Ahoy sailors!

They won't blame "islamic terrorists" for this, but don't be surprised if they come up with the yarn that the captain once visited a Muslim majority country. Hypocrites! And the US president goes to muslim majority countries of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE to beg for money and luxury plane.

Trust Trump, break and pay.
Mexico must pay for this.

The ship is a training ship. Many navies preserve their older ships and use them as training ships or museum ships.

Modern ships also have sails (for use in emergencies), but the sails don't look like that.

The captain must be high on tequila 🌵
🍷 🥂 🍷 gin 😋

Was the captain of the ship drunk when this happened?
