A Mexican Navy training ship, the Cuauhtémoc, crashed into New York City’s Brooklyn Bridge after losing power Saturday evening, killing two people and injuring at least 19, with two in critical condition. The ship’s tall masts struck the bridge and snapped while crew members were on them; no one fell into the water and the bridge sustained no major damage. Mechanical issues and a power cut are suspected. All 277 people on board were accounted for, and the injured were taken to hospitals. The vessel, on a goodwill tour that began in April from Acapulco and was bound for Iceland, was later towed away. Authorities urged the public to avoid the area due to heavy emergency response.
