Two Dead And Nineteen Injured After Mexican Naval Training Ship Hits Brooklyn Bridge, Power Loss Blamed

May 18, 2025 Mexico, New York City

New York City’s NBC affiliate reports:

Two people died and more than a dozen others were injured when a historic Mexican naval training ship struck the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night, Mayor Eric Adams said. Nineteen people were injured, Adams said on X early Sunday, two of whom remained in critical condition “and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries.”

The crash, which happened just before 8:30 p.m., occurred when the Mexican navy ship Cuauhtémoc hit the bridge during a sailing maneuver on a training cruise, according to a social media post from the Mexican navy. The ship apparently lost steering power and was pulled into the bridge by the river’s current, according to an NYPD official.

The most critically injured sailors were up on the mast of the ship at the time it crashed into the bridge, officials said. No one fell into the water, but divers went into the water as a precaution, according to police officials.

New York City’s CBS affiliate reports:

“No one fell into the water, they were all hurt inside the ship,” NYPD Special Operations Chief Wilson Aramboles said. “…The ship, from what I was informed by the supervisors of the ship, it was disembarking and going to Iceland.”

The New York City Department of Transportation reported in a post to social media that bridge inspectors had so far found “no signs of structural damage to the Brooklyn Bridge.” Witnesses reported hearing a loud crunch followed by screams.

“All of the sudden we heard tons of screaming coming from this massive crowd that was here,” Torrey Leonard said. “Our hearts were skipping a beat because it was just horrible, how it sounded. We heard like this wood crunch. We then stood up from dinner right here and looked at the bridge and we saw what everybody’s already seen happen. Which was just horrifying.”

The cult is celebrating and mocking on X. Some are even calling the incident terrorism.
