Staff ReportsA Mexican navy ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, killing two crewmembers and injuring nineteen others. The 300-foot training vessel lost power shortly after leaving a Manhattan pier, then spun out of control in the East River’s strong currents.
Witnesses described horror as the antique ship’s masts snapped like twigs against the bridge. Crew members dangled from broken rigging before crashing to the deck. The doomed sailors included 20-year-old cadet América Yamilet Sánchez – a young life cut short by this preventable disaster.
Records show the ship reached dangerous speeds despite having tugboat assistance. Disturbingly, the crew waited until 45 seconds before impact to radio for emergency help. This delayed response raises serious questions about the training and competence of foreign naval forces operating in American waters.
Why was a Mexican military vessel allowed to navigate New York’s busiest waterway during peak hours? This tragedy exposes the reckless open-border mentality that prioritizes foreign interests over American safety. Our bridges and citizens deserve better protection than this.
The ship’s global tour included planned stops in communist Cuba and socialist France. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans foot the bill for cleaning up this foreign military’s mess. NYC taxpayers will pay millions in bridge repairs – money that should fund our own border security.
Mayor Adams offered empty “thoughts and prayers” while failing to address why foreign warships cruise our harbors. Real leadership would ground these dangerous vessels until proper safety checks are completed. But weak politicians care more about global photo-ops than protecting citizens.
The NTSB investigation continues, but one fact remains clear: American infrastructure and lives are at risk when we allow poorly maintained foreign ships in our waters. This isn’t multiculturalism – it’s madness. Patriots demand immediate action to keep our bridges and borders secure.
Two families mourn tonight because failed policies put foreign sailors above American sovereignty. Until leaders put America First, tragedies like this will keep happening. The blood of those cadets stains the hands of every bureaucrat who approved this deadly voyage.
