一个墨西哥人海军周六晚上，一艘载有277人的帆船撞上了布鲁克林大桥，造成船上两人死亡，十几人受伤，这是沿布鲁克林大桥发生的戏剧性一幕纽约市据官方称，在海滨。
据纽约警察局称，事故发生在晚上8点30分，造成至少19人受伤。据周六晚间举行新闻发布会的城市官员称，有四人受重伤。
市长埃里克·亚当斯周日早些时候表示，事故造成两人死亡。他在社交媒体上发布的一份声明中说，另外两人仍处于危急状态。
国家运输安全委员会正在发送一份去团队前往纽约市调查事故，联邦机构说星期天。他们当天就开始到达。NTSB说，多学科调查小组由航海操作、海洋和桥梁工程以及生存因素方面的专家组成。
正在操纵船只的船长失去了动力和机械功能，水流导致船只直接撞上了桥的柱子，撞到了船上的桅杆，船上有几名水手，”NYPD酋长Wilson Aramboles在新闻发布会上说。
据Aramboles说，水手们受伤是因为桅杆撞到了桥上。
美国海岸警卫队对事件做出了回应，称这艘名为“瓜特穆斯”的船只是一艘297英尺长的训练船。海岸警卫队表示，由于与大桥的碰撞，这艘高船的三根桅杆都被损坏了。
附近围观者的大量手机视频捕捉到了这艘装饰着灯光的船的桅杆与布鲁克林大桥底部相撞的瞬间。撞船后，有人看见船上的船员吊在桅杆上。
据官员称，没有人落水。官员们表示，他们认为这座桥没有遭受任何结构性损坏。亚当斯在午夜过后说，这座桥已经重新开放交通，并补充说，经过初步检查，“我们可以确认这座桥没有受到损坏”。
“我们为船上的每一个人和他们的家人祈祷，感谢我们的第一反应人员迅速采取行动，确保事故不会更糟，”他说。
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·申鲍姆周日晚上在一份声明中说，墨西哥政府正在与地方当局和美国协调
Sheinbaum说:“受伤的人首先得到照顾，我们的声援总是给予死去的学员和水手，我们将照顾他们。”
她还表示，事故原因正在由墨西哥海军部长和相关当局“审查”。
官员们说，这艘船正从17号码头下船，驶向冰岛。
官员们表示，NTSB在事故发生后立即赶到现场，并表示将开始调查事故原因，但初步信息显示，事故可能是帆船的机械问题。
2 dead, 19 injured after Mexican Navy sailboat crashes into Brooklyn Bridge, mayor says
A MexicanNavysailboat with 277 people on board crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday evening, killing two people and injuring more than a dozen others who were on board in a dramatic scene along theNew York Citywaterfront, according to authorities.
The crash occurred at 8:30 p.m., resulting in at least 19 people injured, according to the New York Police Department. Four people were left with serious injuries, according to city officials, who gave a press briefing late Saturday evening.
Mayor Eric Adams said early Sunday that two people were dead following the crash. Two others remained in critical condition, he said in a statement posted to social media.
The National Transportation Safety Board is sending ago-teamto New York City to investigate the crash, the federal agencysaidSunday. They began arriving that same day. The multidisciplinary investigative team is comprised of experts in nautical operations, marine and bridge engineering and survival factors, the NTSB said.
The captain, who was maneuvering the ship, lost power and mechanical function, and the current caused the ship to go right into the pillar of the bridge, hitting the mast of the ship where there was a couple of sailors," NYPD Chief Wilson Aramboles said during a press briefing.
The sailors were injured as a result of the mast striking the bridge, according to Aramboles.
The U.S. Coast Guard, which responded to the incident, described the vessel, called the Cuauhtémoc, as a 297-foot-long training ship. The Coast Guard said all three of the tall ship's masts were damaged as a result of the collision with the bridge.
Numerous cellphone videos from nearby onlookers captured the moment the ship's masts, decorated with lights, collided with the bottom of the Brooklyn Bridge. Members of the ship's crew were seen dangling from the masts after the collision.
No one fell into the water, according to officials. Officials said they did not believe the bridge sustained any structural damage. The bridge has since been reopened to traffic, Adams said just after midnight, adding that "we can confirm that the bridge sustained no damage" after a preliminary inspection.
"We are praying for everyone on board and their families and are grateful to our first responders who quickly jumped into action, ensuring this accident wasn’t much worse," he said.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said in a statement on Sunday evening that the Mexican government is coordinating with local authorities and the U.S.
“The injured are being attended to first and foremost and our solidarity always goes out to a cadet and a sailor who died, and we are going to be attending to them,” Sheinbaum said.
She also said that the cause of the accident is “being reviewed” by the Mexican naval secretary and the relevant authorities.
The ship was disembarking from Pier 17 and heading to Iceland, officials said.
The NTSB was on site immediately after the crash and said it will begin its investigation into the cause, but preliminary information shows it was likely a mechanical issue with the sailboat, according to officials.
