Warning: Crash video autoplays in article.

A pilot died during a gender reveal party when his plane crashed after dispersing pink smoke in the air above the gathering.

A video posted online shows a couple standing in front of a large lit up sign reading “Oh Baby,” before capturing the pilot flying low to the ground while releasing the pink smoke above the pair in San Pedro, Mexico. Just after flying over the couple, the plane’s left wing quickly snapped and the aircraft spiraled out of control and crashed in a nearby field.

    Why is the image for this article a passenger jet plane? The actual airplane that folded like paper mache was a tiny single engine propeller plane

    Gender reveal parties were a mistake. The woman who started them had miscarried every time before, so was celebrating every little milestone of her pregnancy, but people took the idea and started using it as excuse to show off and try to one up other folks.

    How many times does God need to tell us that gender reveal parties have to stop before we listen?

    I assume that the jet pictured in the original post has nothing to do with the plane that crashed?

    They dont know what happened? That pilot used a crop dusting plane to do a strafing run, realized he was headed nose first into some palm trees and yanked up on the yoke. He sheered the wing straight off his plane and died for the mistake.

    Is there a place to see how many lives gender reveal parties have claimed?

    I was gonna demand that gender be abolished because of how many people it keeps killing (because of the “gender” reveals, getit? Har har…) but sometimes I do feel like plane crash is pretty me, you know?
