“A Mexican navy sailing ship about to leave New York for a goodwill tour to Iceland struck the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, snapping its three masts, injuring crew members and leaving some dangling from harnesses high in the air waiting for help. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at least 19 people needed medical treatment after the crash, including four with serious injuries, but the 142-year-old bridge was spared major damage. The cause of the collision was under investigation. In a scene captured in multiple eyewitness videos, the ship, called the Cuauhtemoc, could be seen traveling swiftly toward the bridge near the Brooklyn side of the East River. Then, its three masts struck the bridge’s main span and snapped, one by one, as the ship kept moving.” (05/18/25)
