Brooklyn Bridge survives after being hit by cargo ship
The Brooklyn Bridge is in stable condition after a cargo shipped crashed into it Nov. 7. The Rainbow Quest was sailing south on the East River around 11 p.m. when its light tower collided with the bottom of the bridge.
Traffic on the bridge was halted for at least two hours as the Coast Guard and the NYPD Harbor Patrol surveyed the damage.
A spokesperson told CBS that the Department of Transportation had already scheduled a routine closure on the bridge later that evening.
No injuries were reported.
