Two killed.
More than a dozen people are injured after a Mexican Navy training ship carrying 277 passengers hit the bottom of bridge
What the heck was it doing there to begin with?:doh:
It was leaving port but the engine stuck in reverse causing it to hit the bridge.Quote:

That’s a terrible accident. Some of the videos show men hanging from the broken rigging. Very tragic. It is/was a beautiful ship as well.
What's strange is that tug did nothing unless he couldn't catch up.

Has anyone said why a Mexican navy vessel was all the way up in NY?
Tall ships from all over the world travel around for various festivals, races, etc. For example, I was aboard the Coast Guard cutter Hamilton back in 2018 when we visited Cartegena Colombia for the Sail Cartegena de Indias 2018 which is one such festival where tall ships from around the world gathered for the festival there.
It’s not a mystery or conspiracy theory that it was there training for BCIS, it’s stated in almost every article about the incident.Quote:

Interesting as every article I’ve read says complete power loss and the current took it into the bridge. Either way a sad deal for the dead and injured.Quote:
