The Port of LA’s leaders has a proposal to raise the deck of the Vincent Thomas Bridge about 26 feet higher over the water.

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.

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.

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

The Brooklyn Bridge was named in a March NTSB report naming 68 bridges with an unknown risk of collapse from a ship strike.
