@nytimes: Two crew members have died after a Mexican Navy ship struck the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge, shattering its masts and rigging. A maritime expert told The Times that the Cuauhtémoc’s propellers may have been running in reverse, pushing it faster toward the Brooklyn Bridge, as a tugboat tried escorting the vessel out of a pier. #NavyShip #BrookynBridge #NewYork
Thank you for the breakdown. We’ve all seen the videos, but not a clue of what happened behind everything

important to remember these people were attached to harnesses. i’m unsure if they could have jumped or gotten down even if they wanted to with the time they had to prepare for what what happening.

This is why good journalism is so important!!! I kept seeing the CC and was wondering why it said “Horrific events” because I had no idea there were CREW on the MASTS !!! Thoughts with those involved 🫂

so the captain knew for at least 1 minute that the ship couldve collided witht he bridge, but failed to order the sailors on the top mast to get down?

Mexico is going to pay for the repairs for our Brooklyn Bridge. I don’t understand why they were even here. Poor seaman and look at this as a possible adversary action. Mexico is going to pay us big time

They don’t know how high the bridge? Why did they let people standing like that at first place?

Saw someone from the US Coast Guard cite a law that makes it illegal to stand on the masts like that when at sea. 🤷🏼♂️

Pues cualquiera que fuera la causa, una cosa es segura, USA no tuvo la seriedad y responsabilidad necesaria para recibir a un buque escuela, el objetivo era el intercambio cultural y el disfrute de la vista del buque, yo como país anfitrión tengo la responsabilidad de que esa tripulación entre y salga de las aguas nacionales enteros y sin ningún problema.

The tugboat was supposed to escort it,then why wasnt it tied to it? With the current n wind blowing it towards the bridge they shouldve had enough time to figure this out

guess who 😏 :
Where was the boat going if it was too tall to go under the Brooklyn bridge? How was it going to fit under any bridge?
