A huge Mexican Navy training ship has been damaged after crashing into New York City’s Brooklyn Bridge during a festive visit to the US.
Footage has emerged showing towering masts of the Cuauhtémoc clipping the bridge as the sailing vessel was passing under the famous structure on Saturday evening.
Parts of the masts reportedly fell on the deck, with US media reporting multiple injuries. New York City’s Emergency Management said it was “responding to an incident”, without giving any further details.
The Mexican Navy confirmed that the ship was damaged, saying the incident was being investigated.
