Mexican navy says ship’s pilot in deadly bridge crash was from New York

The Mexican Navy confirmed that the pilot of the training ship Cuauhtémoc, which crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, was New York-based. The incident occurred during a brief period of 80 to 90 seconds when the pilot lacked time to respond effectively. Two soldiers were killed and 22 others injured; the ship's collapse destroyed all three masts. The incident captured on video quickly spread online. Local residents shared accounts of crewmembers struggling with rescue operations as the ship was pulled into the water by strong currents. A full investigation is ongoing, with preliminary findings expected within a month, while the full process could take over a year.
