Mexican Navy Ship Just Crashed Into The Brooklyn Bridge!!

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

"The tides at Brooklyn Bridge yesterday, May 17th, 2025, were as follows: a low tide occurred at 7:04 PM, with a height of 1.2 feet. A high tide occurred earlier in the day at 1:42 PM, reaching a height of 3.6 feet. The tide at 8:20 PM yesterday would have been receding towards the next low tide"

That means the tides were running to the South in the opposite direction of the ships travel

The ship was not drifting, it was being propelled

Another ******* amateur! If low tide as at 7:04 PM, it would be a flood tide heading for the next morning! At 7:04 PM the water was coming up the river! Three of my Navy ships had to transit a river before open sea.

LOL wow.


Is there a source for this? This is hilarious.

Shades of DEI

I’m going to have to get my weather peoples involved in why tides are suddenly dragging ships into bridges
I think though your tide times are off

 

[BackAgain]

Captain Morgan’s crew is pissed-off about it, too.

Now, people will assume that the Mexican Navy can’t hold its tequila.

Let's think about this deeper though, this is a military ship. Presumably controlled by a navy officer.

I would hope the Canadian military wouldn;t be so careless and unprofessional. If the Mexican navy is tasked with defending their coast, they better make sure they choose the right people with the right training because this leaves a bad mark on those in Mexico who ARE competent.

At first notice the spectical of it all did lend itself to humor, however now knowing people had died afterwards, it makes it a bit more somber.
I agree. As a military vessel it seemed they were lacking strong leadership. It made no sense when the ship was vulnerable to allow people climbing up top on the masts, and dropping anchor should have been an option they were prepared to do in short notice if necessary.

That was from an AI chat

That was from an AI answer, take it up with them. Also the tide would be slow at the turn 90 minutes in I think the ship was traveling in excess of the tide, it wasn't drifting

The worm has turned unfortunately.

AI is usually wrong. Garbage in - garbage out principle applies. The wind was also from the south.

 

[Delldude]

The current dragged them there.

If you look at the videos, to support your claim, the aerial view of the dock just upstream from the bridge......the dock piers show no evidence of current making a downstream wake or it would be visible in current causing wakes downstream of the poles in the river.

Care to comment?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yup there were people on the masts

So the wind was propelling a sailboat with its sails furled upstream??

I read it before if I find it again I will post it.

I found it.

ARM Cuauhtémoc – vessel fostering maritime diplomacy

The arrival of the Mexican Navy Sail Training Vessel, ARM Cuauhtémoc (BE-01), known as the “Ambassador and Knight of the Seas,” to the Port of Kingston from April 21 to 23, highlights Mexico’s maritime diplomacy and underscores growing significance...

It was being towed backwards by a tugboat.

WTF is up with that tugboat captain, then?

 

[The Duke]

They should have cut the engine.

 

[The Duke]

Yeah. Just like that other mess in Minnesota when they rammed that bridge. LOL
Engine failure....yet the engine supplies power for propulsion and the lights.

When I was in the Navy.....every engine failure we ever had was always followed by a blackout of our lights.
Only thing we had was safety lights on batteries.
But for some reason the props were still churning in this "accident".

It's pretty clear they did it on purpose. They were hoping to close the bridge for a few years.

The were going backwards at about 5 knots......so there was no power loss.

The current would not have them going that fast into a bridge. I doubt any of the masts would have broken if just drifting with current. This is a bad error.
I feel for those sailors.

Either they rammed into it backwards on purpose or that tug pushed them into it.
Deep State CIA tactic if I've ever seen one.
Sabotage.
Announcing that Biden is sick.....all intended to control the headlines.

No, the tugboat wasn’t attached. All it can do is push.

Um… yeah. Never sailed huh…

The large sides of a ship cause it to blow with the wind. It's actually called sail effect. You use it to have the ship blow towards someone who falls overboard. You can use it when leaving a pier if the wind is right and have to fight it when it;s the wrong way. You know I actually did this for a living, unlike you amateur commentators.
