NEW YORK CITY (WPIX) — Two crew members have died after a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge as it was traveling through New York City on a global goodwill tour.

Mayor Eric Adams announced the two deaths in a post to X late Saturday night. Some 22 people had been injured, 11 of whom were in serious condition and nine in stable condition, according to the Mexican Secretary of the Navy. Their conditions as of Sunday morning were not immediately available.

The crash happened around 8:20 p.m. Saturday, when the boat, carrying 277 people, struck the bridge, according to the FDNY.

Several videos posted to social media, including one seen at the top of this story, showed the boat gliding along the East River before its masts hit the Brooklyn Bridge, causing them to snap one by one as the ship continued moving.

There were sailors on top of the ship when the mast went "right into" the bridge, NYPD officials said Saturday.
