ai generated text
The Mexican Navy's training vessel Cuauhtémoc collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on Saturday, resulting in at least two fatalities and multiple injuries, according to New York City mayor Eric Adams. The incident occurred when the ship, which was carrying 277 people, lost power and scraped against the underside of the iconic bridge. The collision caused visible damage to the vessel's mast and temporarily halted the ship's tour.
During the sailing manoeuvre of the Cuauhtémoc sailboat in New York, a mishap occurred with the Brooklyn Bridge, causing damage to the training ship, preventing the continuation of the training cruise for the time being.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of two crew members.
Expect heavy traffic and a large presence of emergency vehicles in the surrounding area.
Earlier tonight, the Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc lost power and crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.
We are praying for everyone on board and their families and are grateful to our first responders who quickly jumped into action, ensuring this accident wasn't much worse.
At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries.
We saw someone dangling, and I couldn't tell if it was just blurry or my eyes, and we were able to zoom in on our phone and there was someone dangling from the harness from the top for, like, at least like 15 minutes before they were able to rescue them.
