New York City Mayor Eric Adams says 19 others were injured in the collision, but the bridge spared major damage.
A Mexican Navy sailing ship has crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, killing at least two people and injuring 19 others, according to the city’s mayor, Eric Adams.
“At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries,” Adams posted on X on Sunday.
The ship snapped all three of its masts as it collided with the New York City landmark late on Saturday. Adams, however, said the 142-year-old bridge was spared significant damage.
Videos posted online show the ship sailing underneath the bridge, connecting the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan, as the top of its three masts collide with the iconic structure.
The masts can be seen snapping and partially collapsing as they crash into the deck of the bridge.
