Two people died after a Mexican navy sailing ship lost power and its masts crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.

The ARM Cuauhtémoc, which was visiting on a goodwill tour, lost power on the East River and drifted toward the bridge at around 8.20 p.m. Saturday.

Footage uploaded to social media shows the ship drifting backward down the river and its masts striking the bridge, as onlookers scream and shout.

The two dead were crew members, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on X.

Sheinbaum said that the Mexican ambassador to the United States and the Mexican Consulate General were supporting the Mexican navy.

“We are closely monitoring the situation, and the Secretariat of the Navy will continue to provide updates,” she wrote.

At a press conference, NYPD Chief Wilson Aramboles said the ship departed Pier 17 to head out to sea, but the pilot maneuvering the ship “lost power.”

New York Mayor Eric Adams shared on X that, as well as two deaths, 22 people were injured, and two of them were in critical condition.

“We are praying for everyone on board and their families and are grateful to our first responders who quickly jumped into action, ensuring this accident wasn’t much worse,” Adams wrote.

FDNY Chief of Training Michael Meyers said, “Once the marine units arrived on scene, we knew immediately that we had a serious incident with a boat striking the bridge, so we had reports of people in the water.”

Meyers said marine units removed and treated the aided, setting up a casualty collection point and an EMS staging area on Pier 16.

“The police, fire and EMS did a tremendous job of working together to get everyone off of that ship safe,” he said.
