“Mexicans attacked the Brooklyn Bridge. REMEMBER THE MAINE” - Fox News, probably
Except, not.
Two people dead
"City officials said the ship, the Cuauhtemoc, struck the bridge shortly before 8:30 p.m. after losing power. Its two tall masts were knocked off when it made impact with the 140-year old suspension bridge as drivers sped by in either direction, according to multiple videos of the incident."
After losing power
Huge ass lights all over the ship still on
spoiler
Yes i know "power" means propulsion and steering
2 people are now dead? That’s so sad. Last I heard several were in critical condition.
Typical media. There's literally no difference between two and three masts.
Did they… train for this?
It's a ship not a train
This is actually a training exercise - "What if our tall ship suddenly isn't as tall anymore?"
"How was training today?"
"Well, I definitely learned some stuff, so there's that.."
I guess they really aren't sending their best
Oh come on, this one's funny. Those downvotes. Did you really think this person was MAGA for a silly joke?
Still looking for the silliness. It was a tragedy and a flop
Why is it going backwards?
BBC says they had engine failure.
Probably got away from its moorings and just floating downstream uncontrolled?
Training doesn't always go well.
Where's Spider-Man when you need him?
Oh, Snap!
Did they pass their training?
That's what happens when you enter a country which uses an imbicil measuring system and you get the hight wrong
I would put money on that being the case
What are they even doing there in the first place???
That is so sad.
Was literally chilling with these guys and gals in NYC last night
They training for the past?
Tbf you're not allowed to get mad at student drivers.
Except this one I saw the other day that was swerving on a straight road...
Someone's pay is getting docked for a long time 😆
2 dead, 20 injured
On tall ships like the Cuauhtémoc, it is a ceremonial tradition for sailors to climb the masts and rigging when departing or arriving into harbor.

Brooklyn Bridge 1- 0 Crazy fucking ship
I saw the video first and my immediate thought was "This AI is so bad, it doesn't even look like the masts are touching the bridge".
