Mexican navy training ship Cuauhtemoc collides with Brooklyn Bridge
Briefly

On Saturday night, a tall ship belonging to the Mexican navy collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, resulting in injury to 19 of the 277 aboard, with four seriously hurt. The masts of the ship, Cuauhtemoc, fell after hitting the bridge's roadbed. Initial police investigations suggest a mechanical failure may have caused the accident, though the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct a full inquiry. While the bridge was temporarily closed, it was reopened shortly after, with no major damage reported.
