A Mexican navy training ship smashed into New York’s Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, killing two sailors and injuring nineteen. The 300-foot Cuauhtémoc lost control in the East River’s tricky currents despite having a tugboat escort, plowing backward into the bridge at 6 knots as horrified tourists filmed the disaster.
This foreign vessel had no business navigating our waters without proper oversight. Reports show the crew waited until to radio for emergency tugboat help – too little, too late. The ship’s reckless speed increase while reversing defies basic maritime safety, raising serious questions about Mexican naval competence.
Why was a foreign military ship even docked in Manhattan? The Cuauhtémoc’s global “training tour” included planned stops in Communist Cuba and socialist France – nations hostile to American interests. This tragedy exposes the Biden administration’s weak border policies, allowing foreign forces to treat our iconic landmarks as playgrounds.
The victims included 20-year-old cadet América Yamilet Sánchez, a young life cut short by bureaucratic negligence. While Mayor Adams postures on social media, real New Yorkers demand answers. Our bridges and rivers aren’t testing grounds for foreign navies’ incompetence.
This ship’s itinerary proves Mexico prioritizes global grandstanding over training sailors safely. Spending 254 days visiting 15 countries wastes resources better spent securing their own crime-ridden ports. American taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for foreign military tourism gone wrong.
The crash mirrors last year’s Baltimore bridge disaster, where poor oversight caused similar chaos. Radical Democrats’ open borders agenda has turned our harbors into international free-for-alls. When will we put America First and stop risking citizens’ lives for foreign governments’ vanity projects?
Eyewitness videos show the ship barreling backward uncontrollably – a symbol of failed leadership. The NTSB investigation must hold Mexican authorities accountable, not make excuses. No more “thoughts and prayers” while foreign vessels destroy our infrastructure.
Patriots demand immediate policy changes: ban foreign military ships from U.S. waters, mandate American pilots on all visiting vessels, and slash aid to nations that endanger our citizens. This isn’t just an accident – it’s a betrayal of American sovereignty.
