Tragic video shows gender reveal party end in disaster as plane crashes in front of guests, pilot dies



A gender reveal party ended in disaster as a plane attempting a stunt crashed and killed the pilot.

A couple held a gender reveal party on Saturday in Sinaloa, Mexico. The expecting mother and father hired a pilot to fly a small plane over a gender reveal party in Laguna de San Pedro, Sinaloa. The plane would release pink-dyed water over the party to signify the upcoming birth of their baby girl. However, the stunt ended in a gender reveal disaster.

The soon-to-be-parents are standing in front of an "Oh baby" sign with pink and blue balloons. The small plane flew straight above the couple and dropped pink water. Meanwhile, a cannon on the ground erupted and fired out pink confetti.

As the pilot pulled up, the plane's wings collapsed mid-flight and the aircraft spiraled out of control. Meanwhile, the couple hug and kiss to celebrate the gender reveal as the partygoers cheer about the unborn daughter.

The plane crashed to the ground. Emergency response teams reportedly arrived at the crash site and found the pilot lying unresponsive in the plane wreckage. The pilot was taken to the Mexican Social Security Institute in Navolato, but was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The Aviation Safety Network said of the gender reveal accident: "Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee crashed after the left-hand wing failed after an emergency hopper release of (pink dyed) water during a gender reveal party."

The Mexican news outlet Línea Directa Portal reported that 32-year-old Luis Ángel, from Navaloto, was the pilot who died in the gender reveal disaster.

No other injuries were reported.

Father-to-be killed in accidental explosion of gender-reveal device in New York



Another gender reveal accident has led to lethal consequences after a New York man was killed while trying to put together an explosive device for the celebration.

New York State Police said 28-year-old Christopher Pekny was killed just before noon Sunday when a practice device for a planned gender-reveal party exploded in the town of Liberty in the Catskills region.

The device was intended to explode in a cloud of colored powder, but instead sent lethal shrapnel flying.

Pekny was killed and his 27-year-old brother was injured by the shrapnel.

Police confirmed that Pekny was the father-to-be of the child whose gender was going to be revealed by the device.

Pekny's brother suffered injuries from the shrapnel hitting his torso and his legs. He was taken to Garnet Medical Center in Middletown for treatment.

State police said there was no "malicious intent" in the lethal incident, according to WCBS-TV, but they and the bomb disposal unit were still investigating the incident.

A lethal trend

While most gender-reveal parties go off without a hitch, a few incidents with deadly results have captured headlines since the trend began.

In October 2019, an Iowa grandmother was instantly killed by a gender-reveal device that police say looked more like a pipe bomb. In early February, another exploding device took the life of a Michigan man who was attending his friends' gender-reveal party.

Among the worst incidents to date was a gender-reveal mishap that resulted in the massive El Dorado fire in San Bernardino County, California. The conflagration lasted for two months and resulted in the death of one firefighter.

Here's a local news report about the lethal accident:
