New York – When a Mexican navy tall ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, it was maneuvering in turbulent waters. The tide had just turned, and a fast current was heading up the East River as a 10 mph wind set in.

Two people died and more than a dozen were hurt when a Mexican navy ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday in New York City, officials said.

Federal transportation officials have launched an investigation into why a Mexican navy tall ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge.
