This just in: a huge Mexican Navy tall ship has crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City!
The bridge was unharmed, but I can’t say the same for the ship, whose masts struck the bridge and proceeded to snap right off.
Rescue teams are currently on the scene.
You have to see this for yourself:
In an absolutely stunning modern metaphor a ship blaring Mexican music and flying a massive Mexican flag just got destroyed by the Brooklyn bridge.

Over 200 people were on board the ship, which is a training vessel for the Mexican Navy.
It was docked in New York City for public tours.
AP reported:
The Cuauhtemoc — about 297 feet long and 40 feet wide (90.5 meters long and 12 meters wide), according to the Mexican Navy — sailed for the first time in 1982.
Each year it sets out at the end of classes at the naval military school to finish cadets’ training. This year it left the Mexican port of Acapulco, on the Pacific coast, on April 6 with 277 people onboard, the Navy said then.
The Mexican consulate said May 13 on X that the Cuauhtemoc, also called the “Ambassador and Knight of the Seas,” arrived that day and docked at pier 17. It invited people to visit it through May 17.
If you look closely, you can see that there were crew members on the rigging as the ship collided with the bridge.

The Informant (@theinformant_x) The Mexican Navy’s tall ship ARM Cuauhtémoc, a 1982 Spanish-built barque with 277 crew members, collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City just before 9 PM.
One of the ship’s 150-foot masts struck the bridge, snapping and triggering a large-scale search and rescue operation.
Several crew members in the rigging were injured, some critically, and were triaged at the Brooklyn Navy Yard before being transferred to hospitals.
The ship, docked at Pier 17 since May 13 for public tours and the Sail4th event celebrating the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, was a symbol of international goodwill.
The collision has marred the festive occasion, with ongoing rescue efforts in the East River and an investigation into navigational decisions underway.
The bridge appears undamaged, pending official confirmation.
At least thirty-five people on board were injured.
Per The New York Post:
A massive Mexican navy tall ship making a festive visit to New York slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday — toppling its huge masts into the deck in a horrifying scene that left 35 injured including four critically, according to fire officials and sources.
The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — backed into the bridge’s road deck just before 9 p.m., and its 147-foot masts made contact and went falling, according to video of the incident.
Sources said 35 people were injured, including four critically. First responders scoured the waters, but sources said no one fell in.
“The boat was coming under the bridge, and there were sailors on top of the boat, the sails hit the bridge and then people were falling off of the boat sails,” witness Elijah West, a tourist from Texas said. “I believe they were trying to do like a little show. It’s the Mexican Navy. It was crazy, though, yeah. We were standing under the bridge and we all started running. Then I saw people hanging from the sails. Police boats came around fast – about five minutes later.”
It wasn’t clear why it crashed but sources said there may have been a power loss on the ship, which did not have it sail unfurled.
Please pray for those who were injured in this tragic event.
As always, we’ll keep you updated on any further developments.
