A massive Mexican Navy training ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, causing damage during a “goodwill” visit to the US.
As the masts struck the Brooklyn bridge, crowds observing the ship's course ran away from the water's edge
As the sailing ship passed beneath the well-known building on Saturday night, footage has surfaced that shows the Cuauhtémoc's towering masts striking the bridge.
Multiple casualties were claimed by US media after parts of the masts reportedly fell on the ship. The Emergency Management (NYCEM) of New York City stated that it was “responding to an incident” but provided no other information.
As the masts struck the bridge, crowds observing the ship's course ran away from the water's edge, with several saying: “Oh my God!”, “My hands are shaking.”
“We were very scared. A lot of people were screaming, a lot of people were crying. They’re like, ‘How is this happening? How is it is this possible?’ ” health care worker Ismari Romero told NY Post.
Meanwhile, several X user reacted to the viral of the crash, with one writing: “Why is this video in reverse and why are Italians crashing their boats on US? It is common knowledge that bridges only open at certain times and they need to notify first for them to open it. Looks like it was done on purpose.”
“Are there passengers on the ship?” another inquired.
The third user went on to say that “Mexico has to pay.”
