On May 17, 2025, the Mexican Navy’s tall training ship Cuauhtémoc crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York while leaving Manhattan. The ship’s 147-foot masts struck the underside of the bridge, snapping all three. The accident killed two people and injured 19 others, including two critically, among the 277 on board. Emergency responders rescued crew members who were left dangling from the rigging. Thankfully, no major structural damage was reported to the bridge. Preliminary investigations suggest possible mechanical failure. The incident is under official review by both U.S. and Mexican authorities. (PC: AFP)
