According to New York Police Department Chief Wilson Aramboles, who spoke in a press conference The ship lost power to its propulsion around 8:20 PM as the ship was being maneuvered by the captain. Moment before this the ship had been being assisted by a tug boat. The reported loss of power forced the vessel towards one of the pillars of the bridge and the mast struck the bridge smashing much of the upper mast of the ship.
The ship is a training ship with both a mast for utilizing the wind as well as a more modern screw propulsion.
New York Mayor, Eric Adams has said in a statement that 277 people were on board and of the 19 injured ,2 lost their lives and another 2 remain in critical condition.
The bridge was shut down for a time but is back open now.
