NEW YORK — Two crew members of a Mexican navy sailing ship died Saturday night when the ship drifted directly into the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge, smashing its masts and rigging. There were 277 people on board the ship, the Cuauhtémoc, which was on a goodwill tour, and everyone is believed to be accounted for, a Fire Department official said. Mayor Eric Adams said in a social media post after midnight that two people had died, and that the ship had lost power before the crash.
