2 sailors killed after Mexican Navy tall ship smashes into Brooklyn Bridge

  • On the evening of May 18, 2025, a Mexican Navy training vessel carrying 277 people collided with the Brooklyn Bridge while navigating the East River in New York City.
  • The collision happened as the ship lost power while maneuvering through the East River during a scheduled goodwill and training tour that began on April 6 from Acapulco.
  • The ship's three masts scraped and partially collapsed against the underside of the bridge, causing injuries to crew members, while the bridge itself showed no major damage and reopened after brief closure.
  • Officials reported 22 people injured, with 19 requiring medical treatment and four seriously hurt, and authorities confirmed the status of personnel and the ship were under review.
  • Naval and local authorities provided assistance, the Mexican consulate engaged with officials in New York, and investigations along with inspections of the vessel and bridge remain ongoing.
