On the flip side, I’m just shocked that Mexico even has a Navy
Besides the semi-submersibles they use to smuggle drugs north that sailing ship must be their flag-ship.

no mas.......mast
They do have anchors. They're called babies. Anchor babies. I'll let myself out now.Let’s see here. The Mexican navy, going the wrong way, apparently can’t find the ocean, no action taken to avoid a bridge the masts will not clear ( I mean they DO have anchors, right?),
Methinks problem is the first thing

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer actually tried to blame the Trump administration for the Mexican Navy accident over the weekend, where a tall training ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.

This is what it looks like. Yes, those are naval cadets on the masts. I hope they weren’t like this when it backed up into the bridge.

The cadest were just like that when it hit the bridge, and the ones killed or injured went down when the masts broke off.

It was a very impressive presentation. Unfortunately, the crew members that were operating the vessel were incompetent at their duties

I am not ready to condemn the crew.
Everything I am reading about it says the ship lost engine power and steerage and the current carried it into the bridge. Apparently the tugboat didn't have enough power to stop it. The ship called for help from more tugs but it was too late. Maybe they needed more tugs from the outset. I don't know if there was a harbor pilot aboard.
I am reminded of the cargo ship that hit the Skyway bridge in Tampa in 1980 that killed 35 people when a section collapsed. The ship was blown off course by a gale in bad visibility and heavy current. We moved to that area in 1980 and it was a major event in everyone's mind. They put in huge barriers to prevent a reoccurrence when they rebuilt the bridge.
More recently a container ship hit and knocked down a bridge in Baltimore killing 6 construction workers, and again a loss of power and steerage was blamed.
It can take a mile to stop one of those big ships when you have power. Without power, you are at the mercy of wind, tides, and current.
