Mexican Navy Ship Just Crashed Into The Brooklyn Bridge!!

What in the ever lovin' hell!?!?!

We HAVE to be living in a simulation.

See post #2 for Mexican context.



I can't even.

Hey, how's my driving?

Not sure why it was going backwards.

I still give em props! the mariachi band kept playing the entire time!

Damn, I feel bad for those people but I guess it can't be helped..

 

[Paddlefoot]

No, it was going backwards due to the tides. It broke loose according to other posts in this thread.

From pictures you can see water moving around from a propeller turning and also the ship turning while going backwards. The ship had its motors running.

God help me but I laughed when I saw this. People dying is NOT funny of course, but something about that huge Mexican flag and just the massive fail is perfection right now.

Ship either broke loose from its mooring, or it lost power. Either way it's a sad event. I love tall ships, and to see one damaged is just terrible.

How can it have lost power with all of it's lights on?
They also had a tug next to it guiding it into the bridge.

If the bridge was shut down for a time, that would have made it worse.

 

[Godboy]

Oh shit! Did you notice that there were a bunch of people up at the top of the mast that were dangling? Why were so many people up in the sails? That was very bad timing.

haha did they pull this out after 200 years? they can't google, height of brooklyn bridge so they could clear it?
why are they sailing around florida, up the coast to get to NYC is the question

I am sure those cannon balls will be effective against our destroyers

Engine failure

A retweet is NOT a fucking post! Write something yourself, you lazy shits!

That is a wake caused by the ship moving through the water. The power comes from a generator, not propulsion. The turn was caused by the current. Currents are funny like that. You can see the current flooding up river from a rising tide.

That's what they get for using the Metric system to measure height.

So many questions.

Reportedly, the ship had lost power, was supposed to be headed away from the bridge, but was pulled backwards into the bridge by the current.

If it had lost power, it's interesting that all the decorative lights were still illuminated.

If it lost power, why were the sailors still up on the masts?

If it had lost power, why didn't they drop anchor?

I didnt know Mexico had a navy

Even if it is one left over from the Spanish Conquest

Nostalgia. The oldest commissioned warship in the world is the USS Constitution "Old Ironsides" Launched in 1797.

And I was gonna list it for sale next week....

Dang!

The lib media coverage of the accident is typically bad

The ship lost power to the current propelled it towards the bridge

But if the masts are too high how did it get on that side of the bridge to begin with?

 

[Crepitus]

Yeah, it used to be a German ship. We got it after the war.

Nope. The USS constitution is the oldest commissioned US navy ship.

Built in Boston in 1797.

Well go to gatewaypundit then, maybe FOX will give you the information you need (i.e., the number of illegal immigrants onboard)
