Multiple videos have gone viral showing a Mexican navy sailing ship hitting the Brooklyn Bridge in New York on Saturday. The videos show the top of the ship’s three masts slamming into the iconic bridge and partially collapsing as the boat floated in the East River.
In one of the videos, the masts could be seen snapping and partially collapsing as they crashed into the deck of the bridge.

In an absolutely stunning modern metaphor a ship blaring Mexican music and flying a massive Mexican flag just got destroyed by the Brooklyn bridge.
