Mexican Sail Training Ship's Close Call with Brooklyn Bridge

Mexican Sail Training Ship Cuauhtemoc Involved in Near Miss at Brooklyn Bridge New York City - In a startling incident that unfolded yesterday, the Mexican sail training ship Cuauhtemoc had a near collision with the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. The ship, on a voyage commemorating the bicentennial of Mexican independence, was navigating the waters near the bridge when the incident occurred. While the exact details are still under investigation, the incident resulted in injuries to several cadets aboard the Cuauhtemoc. Eleven cadets are currently in a delicate state, while sadly, two lost their lives. "The height of the masts on the Cuauhtemoc reach 147 feet," explained David Godoy, a social media commentator who reported on the event. "The Brooklyn Bridge has a clearance of 135 feet. A captain should know the height of his masts and plan his route accordingly." The incident has cast a shadow over the Cuauhtemoc's journey, which had been planned to visit 22 ports in 15 countries. The US Coast Guard attempted to assist the Cuauhtemoc to prevent it from colliding with the bridge. The ship is now docked at the South Street Seaport Museum in New York City, and investigations into the cause of the near-miss continue. Our thoughts are with the injured cadets and the families of those who lost their lives.
