Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a heartbreaking statement after two sailors were killed when a Navy vessel struck the Brooklyn Bridge.
Tragedy struck Saturday evening as the massive 160-foot-high Cuauhtémoc Training Ship, carrying a crew of 277, smashed into the iconic New York City bridge.
Two unidentified passengers were killed after falling from the masts to the ship's deck, sources told CNN. Dozens more were left severely injured.
Early Sunday, Sheinbaum sent her condolences to the loved ones of the two deceased crew members.
'We are deeply saddened by the loss of two crew members of the Cuauhtémoc Training Ship, who lost their lives in the unfortunate accident in New York Harbor. Our sympathy and support go out to their families,' she wrote on X.
