Mexican Navy Ship Just Crashed Into The Brooklyn Bridge!!

[Jim H - VA USA]

Seems that it was never on that side...

"It was unclear what caused the ship to veer off course. New York Police Department Special Operations Chief Wilson Aramboles said the ship had just left a Manhattan pier and was supposed to have been headed out to sea, not toward the bridge."

Here is its path (White is water)....

Here is the path of the tug boat, Charles D McAllister...

And here is video of the tracks of all ships. Very difficult to follow at this speed, so I did frame by frame.

There aren't any current tails off the dock piers in that aerial view.

Excuses but never responsibility taking

I will bow to your greater knowledge. Just reporting what I saw.

Prayers for the dead and injured.

Power as in power from its engines to its screw. She has an 1100 hp diesel engine that turns one propeller. That should have been able to power them out of danger it is capable of pushing the ship along at 10 knots.

She is built to the same plan as our tall ship, the USS Eagle, but was built in the 1980s in Spain.

Marener's mispelled "Mariner" moniker is more deserved by Westwall.

Just made a statement from an observation. Go look.

I am not disagreeing with you. Maybe the engines got locked into reverse.

I had a car shifter pull.oit the transmission and got jammed in reverse once

I'm sure there will be testing on whoever was at the helm, if not the whole crew. That thing was booking pretty good in reverse, how did that happen.....I was trying to estimate its speed, close to 10/15 MPH?

I bet it was a freakout for sure.

Excellent breakdown of what happened:

 

[JoeB131]

I don't believe that for one second. They also claimed the same thing last year when they rammed another bridge.

Seemed to me their screw was churning....so they rammed the bridge.

Ask yourself why they were anywhere near the bridge in the first place.

People,....you need to learn to be more of a skeptic.


These things aren't happening by accident.

Same goes for all of the fires being set all over the country.

Not sure how much damage a wooden boat is going to do hitting a concrete and steel bridge, but you do you, man.

It’s not a wooden boat. Even the mast is steel.

[Delldude]

I'd bet Mehico peek up dee tab.

 

[egp320i]

No worries, that will buff right out!

 

[WEATHER53]

Wait until the non manipulated photos of those loons up in the masts passing bottles around finally comes to light

I just read this about the navy ship


"The ARM Cuauhtémoc, a Mexican Navy Sail Training Vessel, has indeed been recognized as a global benchmark for women’s empowerment. It currently has 20 women on its crew and 46 cadets, with the first female navigators having embarked in 2011. To this day, it has the largest number of female naval officers from different services. The Mexican Navy also actively supports a campaign on gender equality and inclusion through its Human Rights Promotion and Protection Unit."

"Empowering women economically is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and can significantly impact a country's future. Women's economic empowerment contributes directly to gender equality, poverty eradication, and economic growth''

It's a steel ship weighing 1,800 tons.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It was not in distress with party music blaring and people on the masts

It broke free from its mooring and a tug was trying to assist. At least according to what I have read.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Saw this last night and it was a bad CGI joke

How fucking stupid is the boat captain?

Tell us what you would have done, el Capitan?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I dont live in NY and dont know the layout of the city

But how did the ship get on the landward side of the bridge in the first place?

It was to seaward below the bridge and was being pushed by tidal currents upriver.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Any damage to the bridge?

No.
