Airplane crashes during gender reveal party, killing pilot

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.

Legit looked like that plane was something the wright brothers made

phoenixz,

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

TransplantedSconie,

Jesus, is that made out of paper mache?

Jesus: sí.

3ntranced,

If you look at the ground, an air cannon blasts smoke and confetti right below where the wing snaps upward.

My guess is there was already upward force on the wing when doing the low pass, and the air cannon burst collided with the airstream.

The timing is too perfect for it to be unrelated. Fuck your babies gender.

Plibbert,

Idk that air cannons at a different angle. My money is on poor aircraft maintenance coupled with pilot error of pulling up too quickly with too much speed.

JustZ,

C’mon. The wings fell off the airplane. Pilot obviously spent years beating the shit out of the airframe and the wingbox finally failed.

Nice click bait picture The Hill

stillwater,

Isn’t it the opposite of clickbait if they use a less scandalous and more boring picture?

computergeek125,

They also had an option to use a stock photo of the actual aircraft type on the ground.

Etterra,

Well at least she gonna be pooping out a replacement soon.

Seriously though, just get a cake with a pink or blue frosting layer hidden under the fondant line a civilized person. Or go with green just to fuck with everybody lol.

VindictiveJudge,

Or go with green just to fuck with everybody lol.

“Congratulations, it’s a ninja turtle!”

whataboutshutup,

Imagine learning in your teens that your gender is a pink-smoking plane crash claiming a pilot.

Brickhead92,

I remember the good days when things were simple, when you were either an Apache Attack helicopter or you weren’t.

JustZ,

Damn I have an Uncle that thinks that joke is still hilarious. Absolute lead-poisoned dumbass.

Noodle07,

Now if the child end up being trans it would have been for nothing

whataboutshutup,

Transition may be unconventional, involving means of trans-portation and what-nots.

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.

She doesn’t like the idea overall either.

Squizzy,

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.

Aliendelarge,

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.

paraphrand,

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

Tatters,

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

billygoat,

You would be correct. It was a single prop.

MONDY,

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

That plane looked like it was made out of cardboard and duct-tape.
