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 historic ship's three masts were snapped when a mechanical malfunction caused it to veer into the bridge, Mayor Eric Adams said.
