Mexican Navy tall ship #Cuauhtémoc collided with #BrooklynBridge a few hours ago:
edition.cnn.com/2025/05/17/us/…
Based on videos:
nbcmiami.com/news/national-int…
…it looks like the ship went under the bridge and then hit the shoreline here:
osm.org/go/Zct8EqDG?m=&relatio…
Which means it was going *up river* when it hit the bridge.
That doesn't make sense, it was supposed to be leaving #NYC.
The videos also show it was going backwards. My guess would be loss of control?

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene, die durch ein Fenster aufgenommen wurde. Im Vordergrund ist ein dunkler Raum zu sehen, der von einem Fenster beleuchtet wird. Das Fenster ist mit Rollläden versehen, die teilweise geöffnet sind, und lässt Sonnenlicht hereinfallen. Im Hintergrund ist ein weißes Haus mit einem roten Dach zu sehen, das von der Sonne beleuchtet wird. Das Haus hat mehrere Fenster, die mit Rollläden versehen sind. Vor dem Fenster sind einige Pflanzen sichtbar, die im Schatten liegen. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich, mit einem Kontrast zwischen dem dunklen Innenraum und dem hellen Außenbereich.

in reply to Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦 • • •I see people are already jumping to conclusions about the #Cuauhtémoc collision with #BrooklynBridge a few hours ago.
Le sigh. 🙄
Yes, the ship's masts are taller than the clearance under that bridge. Great sleuthing. But as noted in the parent toot:
1. the ship seems to have been going up river, which makes no sense in the context of it leaving NYC;
2. the ship seems to have been going backwards at the time.
I am going to bet this ship was not trying to go under that bridge at all.

in reply to Hrafn • • •@hth yes absolutely, but that would still not explain why the ship was moving in that particular direction with that speed and energy.
As somebody else pointed out though I misread the tide table. The tide seems to have been coming on, which could mean a strong current in the direction up river.
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦
Unknown parent • • •@drwho right! Seems like the tow line broke? The tug seems to be rushing to try and stop it from drifting.
What I don't get is *why* is it drifting that way. If I read the tides info correctly, this was ~2h after high tide, so unless there are some very weird currents there, it should have been drifting downriver:

in reply to d.rift • • •@feonixrift @drwho good point. No clue, honestly. The videos don't seem to show indications of particularly strong wind, but then again, it doesn't have to be particularly strong, this thing has a huge freeboard…
Then again, the tide and the river would presumably create a pretty strong current out into the open sea, away from the Brooklyn Bridge.
