2:17Now PlayingA massive Mexican navy tall ship making a festive visit to New York slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge late Saturday — toppling its huge masts into the deck in a horrifying scene that left 35 injured including four critically, according to fire officials and sources.
The majestic Cuauhtémoc — which has a crew of 277, mostly cadets — backed into the bridge’s road deck just before 9 p.m., and its 147-foot masts made contact and went falling, according to video of the incident.
Sources said 35 people were injured, including four critically. First responders scoured the waters, but sources said no one fell in.
“The boat was coming under the bridge, and there were sailors on top of the boat, the sails hit the bridge and then people were falling off of the boat sails,” witness Elijah West, a tourist from Texas said. “I believe they were trying to do like a little show. It’s the Mexican Navy. It was crazy, though, yeah. We were standing under the bridge and we all started running. Then I saw people hanging from the sails. Police boats came around fast – about five minutes later.”
