“Mexicans attacked the Brooklyn Bridge. REMEMBER THE MAINE” - Fox News, probably

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago

Well, at least it isn't a container ship that takes down the whole bridge and kills 6 people.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

2 people died, though

It's not easy to see in the video, but there are people standing on the masts

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

Two people dead

"City officials said the ship, the Cuauhtemoc, struck the bridge shortly before 8:30 p.m. after losing power. Its two tall masts were knocked off when it made impact with the 140-year old suspension bridge as drivers sped by in either direction, according to multiple videos of the incident."

After losing power

Huge ass lights all over the ship still on

spoilerYes i know "power" means propulsion and steering

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

2 people are now dead? That’s so sad. Last I heard several were in critical condition.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Typical media. There's literally no difference between two and three masts.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Did they… train for this?

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

It's a ship not a train

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

This is actually a training exercise - "What if our tall ship suddenly isn't as tall anymore?"

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

"How was training today?"

"Well, I definitely learned some stuff, so there's that.."

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Why is it going backwards?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I'm betting they had engine issues and the wind pushed them into the bridge

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Not the wind.

New Yorkers know, you don't fuck with the tides in the east river.

What I want to know is what the story with the harbor master was. Would have imagined a tug along with them for sure.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Right?

No ship that size has the controls for a small space like this.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

BBC says they had engine failure.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Probably got away from its moorings and just floating downstream uncontrolled?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Training doesn't always go well.

Where's Spider-Man when you need him?

Did they pass their training?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Was literally chilling with these guys and gals in NYC last night

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

That is so sad.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

They training for the past?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Highly classified time machine battalion.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Tbf you're not allowed to get mad at student drivers.

Except this one I saw the other day that was swerving on a straight road...

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Someone's pay is getting docked for a long time 😆

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

2 dead, 20 injured

On tall ships like the Cuauhtémoc, it is a ceremonial tradition for sailors to climb the masts and rigging when departing or arriving into harbor.

Brooklyn Bridge 1- 0 Crazy fucking ship

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

What are they even doing there in the first place???

[-] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago

I guess they really aren't sending their best

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Oh come on, this one's funny. Those downvotes. Did you really think this person was MAGA for a silly joke?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

People died after a mechanical failure, I don’t find that terribly funny.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Alright, I get that. Interesting how this one comment got singled out tho

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Still looking for the silliness. It was a tragedy and a flop
