Officials said two people died and more than a dozen were injured when a Mexican Navy training ship attacked the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on Saturday.

NTSB said Sunday morning that they are launching a team to investigate the incident.

On Saturday night Press ConferenceNew York City Mayor Eric Adams said the ship was sailing on the ship when it collided with the bridge before 8:30 p.m. Adams said at least 19 people were injured and four were injured. He later declared two of them dead.

"No one fell into the water, they were all injured," said Wilson Aramboles, the New York Police Department's special operations director. "...The ship, when informed by the supervisor on my ship, was disembarked and went to Iceland."

The New York City Department of Transportation reported in a social media article that bridge inspectors have so far found “no signs of structural damage to the Brooklyn Bridge.”

The boat crashes into Brooklyn Bridge

In a social media article, the Mexican Navy said Cuauhtemoc was damaged in sailing.

Cuauhtemoc lost power before hitting the Brooklyn Bridge, Adams said on a social media post.

Video posted online shows that the ship apparently drifted backward before all three masts hit the bridge and ruptured.

When hitting the bridge, some sailors can be seen hanging by wires near the roof of the boat. The main mast of the 297-foot-long boat is 160 feet tall. When the collision occurred, dozens of sailors stood in the yard on the boat.

"I think it's, the pilot assigned to the navigation is out of the water, and I believe there are some mechanical problems that could cause the boat to hit the water," Aramboles said.

Witnesses reported hearing loud crunch and screaming.

"Suddenly, we heard a lot of screams coming from a large crowd here," Torrey Leonard said. "Our heartbeats because it's so scary and it sounds horrible. We heard the sound of this wood chip. Then, we stood up at dinner here and looked at the bridge and we saw what everyone had seen. It was really scary."

Mexican Ambassador to the United States Esteban Moctezuma Barragán told reporters that the ship had sailed for about 20 years and was sailing from Mexico's Cozumel to Iceland. The ship arrived in New York City on May 13.

Police urged people to avoid areas around the bridge, including Manhattan's South Street Harbour and Brooklyn's Dumbo. The bridge has been temporarily closed to traffic but has since reopened.

The bridge originally opened in 1883 and has a main span of nearly 1,600 feet.
