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.

Trevor Noah says gender reveal parties are dangerous, should only happen when kids are old enough to choose gender. Ted Cruz hits back with savage burn.



"The Daily Show" host and comedian Trevor Noah says gender reveal parties should be obsolete, as children clearly aren't able to choose their genders as babies.

What are the details?

In a Tuesday monologue, Noah pointed to the California fire sparked by pyrotechnics at a gender reveal party. The fire, dubbed the El Dorado Fire, has burned more than 13,000 acres at the time of this writing.

"At this point, 'gender reveal party' is now one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations," Noah joked during the monologue. "It's ISIS, al-Qaeda, Taylor Swift fans, and gender reveals parties."

The Comedy Central host added, "Aside from all the damage it can cause, celebrating a baby's genitalia is starting to feel very outdated. Given everything we're learning about gender, gender reveal parties should only happen when the child is old enough to know their actual gender — and to pitch in some cash for the fire damage."

He also suggested that parents "do something that helps the situation" following the fire, suggesting that expectant parents attempt to douse the El Dorado fire with pink-colored water if the child is a girl, or blue-tinted water if the child is a boy.

In response, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that many liberal men simply "never grow balls."

In a Friday tweet, Cruz on Twitter linked a tweet from The Daily Wire, which reported that Noah was apparently "offended" by gender reveal parties.

He wrote, "A fair point. Many liberal males never grow balls[.]"

'Nothing less than child abuse'

Cruz has been outspoken about his stance on biological gender, children, and parenting, and in 2019, said that parents allowing children to transition genders was a "horrifying & tragic" notion to behold.

In a tweet, the Texas Republican wrote, "This is horrifying & tragic. For a parent to subject such a young child to life-altering hormone blockers to medically transition their sex is nothing less than child abuse."
