Mexican Navy tall ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge, killing 2

In the United States, two people died and 22 others were injured when a Mexican Navy training vessel crashed into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday evening.

The ARM Cuauhtemoc, a tall ship of the Mexican Navy, was departing New York City as part of its global goodwill tour when it collided with the Brooklyn Bridge after the vessel lost steering control, causing it to drift.

The ship was carrying 277 individuals and was scheduled to visit 22 ports in 15 countries over a 254-day voyage.

No rescue operations were required, as no one fell into the water as a result of the incident.
