A day after a Mexican sailing vessel slammed its masts into the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge, new details about the crash, which killed two crew members and injured at least 22 others, began to emerge. The accident occurred after the ship left Pier 17 in Manhattan, just below the Brooklyn Bridge. It was supposed to head south and sail out of New York Harbor, with a stop on the Brooklyn waterfront to refuel before heading to Iceland. Instead, the ship headed in the wrong direction, under the Brooklyn Bridge, where it was never intended to sail, according to a spokesman for the city’s emergency management office. U.S. and Mexican officials are investigating what led to the accident. Read the latest at the link in our bio.
