Mexican Navy Ship Crashes Brooklyn Bridge Killing Two

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting a detailed investigation into the Mexican Navy training ship Cuauhtémoc's collision with the Brooklyn Bridge, an incident that killed two naval cadets and injured others. The NTSB team has boarded the ship to interview crew members and inspect data recorders, while also coordinating with New York City agencies to assess damage to the ship and the bridge; preliminary findings indicate no structural damage to the bridge's load-bearing elements. The ship, which lost power and drifted into the bridge, is currently docked at Pier 37 and is scheduled to be towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for dry-docking as further investigations continue. Authorities are examining the role of the tugboat, potential mechanical failures, and the ship's sudden acceleration to determine the crash's cause. The incident has drawn public attention due to dramatic footage of crew members clinging to rigging and has raised concerns about risks to critical infrastructure and local commerce in New York City. Market reactions have been subtle, with some impacts on cryptocurrencies and risk sentiment noted amid broader market volatility, although no immediate financial disruptions have been reported.
