The ARM Cuauhtemoc sail vessel was visiting New York to mark the 250th anniversary of America’s independence
A sail training vessel of the Mexican Navy collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York on Saturday evening.
Video from the scene shows the ARM Cuauhtemoc’s three tall masts, decorated with lights, toppling after they struck the underside of the bridge’s road deck.
The New York Post cited fire officials and its own sources as saying that multiple members of the ship’s 277-person crew had been injured. The newspaper also reported that rescuers were pulling people from the water.
In an absolutely stunning modern metaphor a ship blaring Mexican music and flying a massive Mexican flag just got destroyed by the Brooklyn bridge. Can’t make it uppic.twitter.com/AUJy0q3oFB
