Brooklyn Bridge Disaster Crimson Tide, Concrete Tragedy

The Mexican Navy training vessel, ARM Cuauhtemoc, collided with a pier in Honolulu Harbor, Hawaii, causing significant damage to the pier and minor damage to the ship. The incident occurred as the ship was maneuvering to dock. Initial reports suggest strong winds and potential miscommunication may have contributed to the mishap. The vessel, a three-masted barque used for training naval cadets, was on a goodwill tour, having previously visited other ports in the Pacific. Following the collision, officials from the Mexican Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard initiated investigations to determine the exact cause of the accident. The extent of the damage to the pier requires a comprehensive assessment to determine repair costs and timelines. The ARM Cuauhtemoc was subsequently moved to a safe anchorage within the harbor to undergo damage assessment and necessary repairs before continuing its voyage. No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. The collision is expected to cause delays in the ship's planned itinerary and may impact scheduled port visits. Authorities are working to ensure the safety of navigation within Honolulu Harbor and to prevent similar incidents in the future. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/mexican-navy-training-vessel-hits-014202069.html
