The Mexican navy ship Cuauhtémoc will be towed for repairs after colliding with the Brooklyn Bridge, which resulted in the tragic deaths of two sailors. This operation, led by New York City's Office of Emergency Management, will temporarily disrupt boat traffic, affecting local ferry services. The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing, with authorities revealing that the ship was supposed to be navigating away from Pier 17 when it unexpectedly drifted backwards under the control of a local pilot, stressing the usual safety protocols in place.
The move is expected to halt boat traffic in the area for more than an hour, causing temporary disruptions to ferry service.
Officials said the ship was pulling away from Pier 17 on its way to Iceland when it somehow drifted backwards.
