Brooklyn Bridge Crash Sparks BIG Questions: Who’s to Blame? Experts Investigate

Fresh scrutiny surrounds the Mexican Navy ship Cuauhtémoc after it crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, with investigators now probing whether its towering masts, reportedly nearly 30 feet above clearance limits, led to the collision. The incident, unfolding under strong currents and shifting tides, is believed to have been worsened by a suspected reverse thrust failure. Eyewitness footage shows the ship drifting backward before the impact, sparking fears of engine malfunction. Experts call it a tragic mix of tech issues, misjudgment, and poor timing, echoing concerns raised after the Baltimore bridge collapse. The NTSB is reviewing black box data for engine, thrust, and communication failures, while Mexico joins the probe, as the ship belongs to its Navy. President Sheinbaum has expressed condolences to the families of the two sailors killed.
