WTF?

And here I thought they just couldn’t drive cars.

Pretty clearly a complete loss of propulsion control...they were reversing when they hit the bridge and the vessel remained in reverse well after the impacts.

I’m guessing a complete communications breakdown.

Someone shouted “No El Backup” and they mistook it for turning on all the Christmas lights.

Somebody caught a picture of the captain at the wheel.

You know that the memes arising out of this tragedy will be awesome.

Was the current that strong or were they in reverse. Why wasn't the anchor dropped?

It was a very pretty boat.

Until this incident, I didn't even know that Mexico had a navy.

What was That Bridge Clearance Again,,,,,,, 107 Meters or 107 yards?

One of my first thoughts

 

[Hijinx]

You're backing toward a bridge in reverse and you don't order the anchor dropped or the order to get the cadets out of the shrouds?
How long had they been going backwards before they hit.

Easy to be Monday morning quarterbacks but did they really have a woman Captain with a crew made up of female Cadets?

The Mexican navy said on Saturday the ship was an academy training vessel. The incident happened during the "departure maneuver" during an instructional cruise titled, "Bicentennial of the Consolidation of Independence at Sea."

What?

 

[frequentflier]

Chucky Schumer has already blamed it on DOGE and Trump.

What does he think DOGE has to do with a Mexican sailboat?

That guy. I almost wish Hogg *would* primary him.
