Mexico's Secretary of the Navy claimed Tuesday that a pilot from New York was in control at the time the ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.

Mexicans are mourning the death of two young Navy cadets who were killed on Saturday when the training tall ship ARM Cuauhtémoc crashed into Brooklyn Bridge.

The Cuauhtémoc left Acapulco on April 6 on a good-will tour with stops that included New York; Jamaica; Cuba; Barbados; Scotland; Spain; and London, according to the Mexican Navy.
