Mexico's naval training ship crashed into the underside of the 142-year-old bridge Saturday night, killing two people and injuring 22 more.

After several days in New York, it took less than five minutes for a Mexican Navy ship to hit the city’s iconic Brooklyn Bridge, snapping the masts like matchsticks and leaving two crew members dead and over a dozen injured as crowds watched in fear from the shore.

Many crew members on the Mexican navy tall ship that suffered a deadly collision with the Brooklyn Bridge have flown home from New York, officials said Monday. Seven officers and 172 cadets who were aboard the Cuauhtemoc training vessel arrived early Monday at the port of Veracruz,

Scores of New Yorkers and tourists watched in horror as the masts of the ship slammed into the bridge and crumbled onto the boat and water.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of two crew members of the Cuauhtémoc Training Ship”
