It’s not officially summer until a sailboat crashes into the Roosevelt Island
Bridge as happened this morning at about 7:30 AM.
Sailboat this morning didn’t have the clearance to pass under the Roosevelt
Island Bridge

According to a Roosevelt Island onlooker:
Boat hits 36th Avenue bridge. NYC Ferry pausing there – lots of rescue boats.
NYC Ferry guy says the mast was about 5 feet taller than the bottom of the
Bridge but thinks everyone is OK.
Witnesses share these photos of the capsized boat and water rescue.

Linda Doyle adds:
They uprighted the boat
Image From Linda Doyle and everyone applauded the efforts. I believe the boat was towed away by a Tow
Boat Company.
I asked the FDNY and NYPD for more info. None available yet. Will update when
more info becomes available.
