Dozens of people gathered overnight on the street that was home to one of the Mexican naval cadets who died when their training vessel hit the Brooklyn Bridge.América Yamilet Sánchez, 20, was in the final year of her studies at the naval academy when she was killed aboard the naval teaching vessel Cuauhtemoc on Saturday.

The Cuauhtémoc, she explains, met strong currents and a possible mechanical issue trying to back out of the South Street Seaport, a tragedy that resulted in two cadet deaths (América Sánchez and Adal Jair Maldonado Marcos) and 19 injuries of the 277 people on board.

A Mexican navy sailing ship on a global goodwill tour struck the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, snapping its three masts, killing two crew members and leaving some sailors dangling from harnesses high in the air waiting for help.
