A pilot aboard the Mexican Navy vessel that crashed into the bridge ordered it to move slowly forward, but instead it went backward and hit the bridge's underside, according to the report.

Federal investigators released new details Monday about the sailing vessel that struck the Brooklyn Bridge last month.

The Mexican navy ship that crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge in May, killing two crew members and injuring 19, was moving backwards at an increased speed before the collision, officials said.

The May 18 crash of the Mexican navy sailboat Cuauhtémoc, which had 277 people aboard, killed two people and injured more than a dozen others in a dramatic scene along the New York City waterfront.

An initial report from the National Transportation Safety Board described the moments before a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge.
