Two people have been killed and at least 19 others injured after a tall Mexican Navy training sailboat crashed into New York City’s Brooklyn Bridge, the city mayor has said.
Eric Adams said the Cuauhtémoc lost power before the collision on Saturday evening. US officials said 277 people were on board the vessel, which was on a goodwill visit.
Footage shows the Cuauhtémoc’s towering masts clipping the bridge as the ship was passing under the famous structure on Saturday evening.
Crew members were standing on the masts at the time of collision, authorities said, which all snapped and fell to the deck.
