A tragic accident in New York Harbor this weekend left two Mexican navy cadets dead and at least 22 others injured after a tall ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, according to CBS News<\/a>. Eleven remain in critical condition.<\/p>\n

The ship, Cuauht\u00e9moc<\/i>\u2014a 270-foot Mexican naval training vessel known as a \u201cgoodwill ambassador\u201d\u2014was carrying 277 people when it lost power around 8:20 p.m. on Saturday. Its towering masts, each more than 157 feet tall, struck the underside of the bridge as the ship attempted to exit Manhattan\u2019s Pier 17 en route back to the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Sailors Am\u00e9rica S\u00e1nchez, 20, and Adal Jair Maldonado Marcos, 23, were killed in the crash. Both were in training with Mexico\u2019s naval academy.<\/p>\n

\n

“I deeply regret the passing of Veracruz cadet Am\u00e9rica Yamilet S\u00e1nchez. My love, support, and solidarity go out to her family. My gratitude to the @SEMAR_mx and my wishes for a speedy recovery for those injured. Veracruz is with you,” Veracruz Governor Roc\u00edo Nahle posted on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

S\u00e1nchez, a fourth-year cadet, had dreamed of becoming a naval engineer. Her mother, Roc\u00edo Hern\u00e1ndez, told The Guardian<\/span><\/a> that her daughter was \u201cexemplary\u201d and \u201ca dedicated student.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cShe was a warrior, a soldier who didn\u2019t give up, who always fought for her goals,\u201d Hern\u00e1ndez told BBC News<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maldonado, the other cadet killed, had joined the navy to follow in his father\u2019s footsteps, friends said.<\/p>\n

The Cuauht\u00e9moc<\/i> has long symbolized Mexico\u2019s naval pride. Launched in 1982, it has traveled to more than 60 countries and was mid-tour on a planned journey to 15 nations when the accident occurred, according to ABC 6 Action News<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities are still investigating what caused the ship to lose power. The incident has sparked questions about tall-ship navigation in densely trafficked urban waterways\u2014especially near aging infrastructure like the Brooklyn Bridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
