US: 2 dead, 19 injured after Mexican Navy training ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge
The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — apparently lost power as it was sailing out of New York on its way to Iceland and the current carried it into the road deck of the bridge around 8:30 p.m., according to Mayor Eric Adams and footage of the crash.
The collision sheared off the ship’s 147-foot masts. Adams said two sailors were on top of the mast when it hit the bridge — which has a max clearance of 135 feet
