Horrifying moment plane crashes in gender reveal stunt
A gender reveal party in Mexico has ended in tragedy after the stunt plane crashed killing the pilot.
The video, filmed by a party guest, showed an expecting couple smiling as they waited for the plane to ascend and perform the reveal.
The pair stood in front of a sign that read: "Oh baby!" as the small plane approached them releasing pink smoke, signalling to the couple that they are having a girl.
Tragedy struck when the pilot pulled the Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee aircraft upwards and the left wing suddenly gave way, sending aircraft into a tailspin, ultimately leading to the fatal crash.
The Sun reported that the attendees seemed oblivious to the crash as they continued to celebrate the gender reveal.
Later on, graphic photos of the horrendous aftermath emerged showing the 32-year-old pilot, Luis Angel N., lying in the wreckage of the plane before he was rushed to hospital where he unfortunately passed away, according to local media reports.
A few other photos of the wreckage has also been posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a few people rushing to get the pilot out.
Footage of the gender reveal party has since gone viral, with viewers sharing their condolences to the pilot, while others slammed the "extreme gender reveals".
"The way the camera panned back to the couple with not the slightest care in the world for the pilot is sad," one commented.
“Why do they have to do such extreme gender reveals lately? Why can’t they just settle for something simple?” added another.
“It looks like he over stressed the aircraft. I wonder if he was above safe manoeuvring speed? I hate to see it," wrote a third.
A fourth person commented: “Whats the point of this at the first place? I see so many accidents and incidents doing gender reveals.”
