There was a somber gathering just below the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday night, as members of the New York Mexican community remembered two sailors who died in last weekend's ship crash.

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.

Investigators say whatever went wrong happened within the span of five minutes, between the time the ship pulled away from a dock and hit the bridge.
