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.

    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.

      I don’t mind people doing whatever they want but a lot of them are just not to my liking, but neither are Tupperware parties…I just don’t care about either.

      A lot of these end up as headlines though, I feel that those involved would likely be headline regardless. In this case it is just unfortunate.

        Tupperware also carries the stench of MLM with it. Too bad since its generally pretty solid stuff. Waiting to find out the gender until birth was an interesting social experiment for my wife and I. It bothered some people more than we expected and others less.

      That’s like a prompt to a twilight zone episode. 😬
