board. According to reports, the ship was participating in a parade of ships to celebrate Fleet Week when it suddenly turned the wrong way and collided with the iconic bridge. The incident, which occurred during a heavy rainstorm, has sparked concerns about the safety protocols in place for the annual Fleet Week event. The parade of ships, which has been a tradition in New York City since 1984, is a highly anticipated event that draws in thousands of spectators. The Mexican navy tall ship, known as the ARM Cuauhtémoc, was on its first visit to New York City and was supposed to be leading the parade of ships. However, the ship somehow ended up facing the wrong direction and crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, causing significant damage to its mast and injuring 16 sailors. According to witnesses, the ship was struggling to navigate the turbulent waters and heavy winds, and it appeared to be in distress before the crash. The incident is being investigated by the US Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board, and both organizations are working to determine the cause of the accident. The tragic event has left the maritime community in shock and mourning the loss of two Mexican sailors who were killed in the crash. The Mexican navy has expressed their condolences and is working with the US authorities to investigate the incident. This is not the first time a ship has crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge during Fleet Week. In 2015, a US Navy ship struck the bridge, causing significant damage and injuring several sailors. This latest incident has raised questions about the safety measures in place for the parade of ships and the need for stricter regulations to prevent similar accidents in the future. As the investigation continues, our thoughts are with the families of the victims and everyone affected by this tragic event. We hope that this incident will lead to improved safety protocols for future Fleet Week celebrations."
