They shouldn't have hired an aggy captain.
Seriously, though, how the fuck do you not know whether you'll clear or not ahead of time?

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t anything to do with misjudging the bridge height and everything to do with they had lost the ability to control the boat.

Apparently, it is a "Mexican Navy training ship" that is touring the world.  One report states that its masts are 30 feet taller than the clearance under the Brooklyn Bridge.  Poor planning, or they planned to sail the other direction and lost power (no way that thing is 100% sail powered).

2 are dead, 2 in critical condition, and another 20 or so were injured.

"Plans for the voyage included calling on 22 ports in 15 countries in 254 days"
