A Mexican naval vessel carrying 277 people scraped the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday evening, leaving two crew members dead and several others injured.
Nineteen people are in serious or critical condition after the tall ship Cuauhtémoc “lost power and crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a post on X early Sunday. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the deaths, and expressed condolences in another post on X.
