A Mexican Navy cadet, América Yamilet Sánchez, 20, who was killed in the harrowing ship collision with the Brooklyn Bridge, has been identified as one of the two fatal victims of the Saturday night catastrophe. The Xalapa, Mexico native was reportedly standing atop one of the masts when the boat experienced a mechanical issue, causing the captain to lose control as the river's current dragged it toward the bridge. Its 147-foot masts smashed into the crossing connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan, and terror ensued as onlookers watched victims dangle and plummet from the masts' beams. In a chilling Facebook post, shared at 12:40pm on Sunday - about eight hours before the incident that ended her life - the bright-eyed Navy trainee was pictured during a night out in the Big Apple. 📷 AP / Facebook #mexicanship #brooklyn #tragedy #accident #news
