A Mexican navy ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, killing two young crew members and injuring nineteen. The foreign training vessel lost control in New York’s East River while attempting to leave port, crashing into America’s historic landmark as terrified bystanders fled.
The 300-foot “Cuauhtémoc” snapped all three masts on impact, sending crewmembers dangling from broken ropes. Video shows panicked sailors clinging to collapsing equipment as debris rained down. Two victims – including a 20-year-old cadet – died from catastrophic injuries while awaiting rescue.
Reports confirm the ship’s crew radioed for emergency tugboat assistance just 45 seconds before disaster struck. By then, the vessel had already accelerated backward toward the bridge at 6.9 mph. Questions swirl about why Mexican officials delayed calling for help until it was too late.
This foreign warship had been docked in Manhattan as part of a global “goodwill tour” targeting communist Cuba and other regimes. American taxpayers deserve answers about why hostile nations are allowed to refuel in our harbors while our own Navy faces budget cuts.
New York’s Democrat mayor rushed to praise first responders but avoided criticizing Mexico’s handling of the crisis. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans wonder why outdated foreign vessels with questionable safety records navigate our busiest waterways.
The Brooklyn Bridge – a symbol of American ingenuity – survived the crash with minor damage. But this near-disaster exposes the risks of open borders and weak port security. Every foreign ship in U.S. waters must face strict scrutiny to protect our citizens and infrastructure.
Mexican authorities initially downplayed the crash, claiming “no significant damage” despite two deaths. This cowardly response mirrors their failure to secure their own borders, allowing cartels and chaos to spill into American communities.
Patriots demand full accountability. Congress must investigate why this foreign military operation ended in American bloodshed – and why our leaders prioritize globalist photo-ops over common-sense homeland defense.
