Mexican Navy Ship Just Crashed Into The Brooklyn Bridge!!

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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.

Force equals mass times acceleration. Simple physics.

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.

Minnesota? That was Baltimore you moron!

What was your ships propulsion plant because electrical is separate from propulsion on Navy ships and they also have emergency generators. You must have been on the Ark!

If tide current is that strong they should start having sail ships leave when tide is going out. Granted they was using a motor in leaving but at that current it was going as fast as it could. Likely that was what caused it to break. We have a large cargo plane down here that can only leave in the morning when it is cool so can take off.

The east river can have multiple currents running at various locations in both the vertical and horizontal axes, and those currents can be very very strong. The River really isn't a river, just a tidal estuary between the LI Sound and NY harbor with added imputs from the Hudson River estuary via the Harlem River and the Bronx Kill.

If they had an Engine failure the Tug looks like it was trying to catch the ship before it hit the bridge, but didn't have the time to do it.

And thus why no one is afraid of the Mexican Navy.

Chucky Schumer seriously just suggested that this happened because of DOGE.

It was weird though I offered my prayers but it didnt save I edited it to reflect this.

I'm not an insensitive prick, but indeed, when people decide to do this they should be held accountable for the harm they caused. People have to be smarter than this as if they aren't people lose their lives following idiots.

You know this ship is from the Mexican "navy". Does Mexico have a navy? No. of course not. They have a ceremonial yacht parade, like Newport Beach does.
