A Mexican Navy ship smashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, killing two crew members and leaving multiple others fighting for their lives. The 300-foot training vessel Cuauhtémoc destroyed its own masts crashing into the 142-year-old American landmark. Footage shows panicked cadets dangling from safety harnesses as steel beams crashed around them.
This foreign military vessel had no business navigating New York’s crowded waterways with inexperienced trainees. Reports confirm the ship sped backward out of control at nearly 7 mph despite a tugboat’s desperate attempts to stop it. How many more American landmarks must be endangered by poorly trained foreign forces operating on our soil?
The Mexican Navy’s reckless decision to let green cadets pilot this massive ship through Manhattan reveals shocking disregard for American safety. While our bridges stand strong, this incident proves foreign militaries can’t be trusted to respect U.S. infrastructure. Why was a foreign warship even allowed to dock in New York Harbor without proper oversight?
Woke New York officials prioritized political correctness over common sense by hosting this disaster waiting to happen. Instead of securing our borders and ports, weak leadership rolls out the red carpet for foreign vessels that endanger citizens. The same politicians who won’t stop illegal boats from crossing the Rio Grande happily invite foreign naval risks to the East River.
This ship had just left Norfolk, Virginia before crashing in New York – why are foreign military crews conducting “goodwill tours” in American ports? Hardworking taxpayers don’t need Mexican naval practice missions in our backyard. Every dollar spent hosting these visits could fund border patrol agents or veterans’ healthcare.
The Cuauhtémoc’s dangerous mishap exposes the failure of globalist policies putting foreign interests before American sovereignty. Real leaders would’ve denied entry to this unnecessary risk. Instead, New Yorkers got a front-row seat to international incompetence collapsing on their iconic bridge.
Shamefully, officials reopened the bridge immediately despite visible damage – another example of putting tourism dollars over public safety. American infrastructure deserves better than Band-Aid fixes after foreign disasters. Our grandfathers built bridges to last centuries, not to survive crash landings from uninvited guests.
This tragedy proves America must secure its ports as fiercely as its borders. No more foreign military joyrides through our cities. No more risking American lives to coddle foreign governments. It’s time for leaders who put U.S. citizens first – before the next preventable disaster strikes.
