The ARM Cuauhtémoc is a Mexican Naval training vessel built in Spain in 1982. This occurred on 5.17.2025. The reports are saying that the vessel suffered a transmission? failure shortly after casting off and was stuck in reverse after backing out from Pier 17. The ship was moving in reverse when it struck the bridge.
20 Naval cadets injured, 3 with critical injuries, 2 deaths, subject to change, that I’ve heard so far.
The Police and FDNY arrived on the scene to assist in the rescue. The ship was stopped and anchored before hitting the Manhattan Bridge.
As I said somewhere else today, Mexican Navy? I didn't know adobe could float.
ReplyDeleteMexicans just can't drive or pilot a ship... probably thought he stole it and was gonna drive it like that.
