XALAPA, Mexico (AP) — Dozens of people gathered overnight in the street where one of the Mexican naval cadets who died when their training vessel hit the Brooklyn Bridge lived. América Yamilet Sánchez, 20, was in the final year of her studies at the naval academy when she was killed aboard the naval teaching vessel Cuauhtemoc on Saturday.
Footage of a tall ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge shows the vessel hurtling into the span in reverse at full speed, suggesting the captain lost control of the engine.
