A gender reveal celebration took a tragic turn when a small plane crashed, claiming the life of the pilot. As reported by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12475681/gender-reveal-plane-crash-mexico.html">Daily Mail</a>, the jubilant parents-to-be had arranged for a small aircraft to fly over their gathering in Sinaloa, Mexico, releasing colored smoke to announce the gender of their expected child. As the pink smoke filled the sky - signaling a baby girl - cheers rang out from their guests. But the joy quickly turned to dread as the plane suddenly veered off course and spiraled out of control. The couple, standing next to an "Oh baby" sign, remained engrossed in their special moment, seemingly unaware that the aircraft had gone into a deadly spin behind the palm trees. <a href="https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/shocking-moment-plane-crashes-during-gender-reveal/">Reports</a> state that the incident unfolded on Saturday (September 2) It has since been reported that Luis Angel N, the 32-year-old pilot and sole occupant of the Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee, was later discovered amidst the wreckage. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263226897" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-03-at-14.44.59-1015x1024.jpg" alt="" width="1015" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| People are questioning when dangerous gender reveal stunts will finally come to an end.

Footage of the tragic event has spread like wildfire on social media, stirring debate over the increasingly dangerous stunts people employ for gender reveal events. One commenter noted: "The way the camera panned back to the couple with not the slightest care in the world for the pilot is sad." Another questioned: "Why do they have to do such extreme gender reveals lately? Why can't they just settle for something simple?" <img class="size-large wp-image-1263226896" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-03-at-14.45.06-803x1024.jpg" alt="" width="803" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Footage of the tragedy is being circulated on social media Credit: Twitter]] Sadly, this isn't the first time a gender reveal stunt has ended in tragedy. In 2019, <a href="https://vt.co/news/us/woman-by-gender-reveal-announcement">a grandmother in Iowa was killed</a> when a homemade pipe bomb designed to shoot colored powder exploded, sending shrapnel flying. The victim, 56-year-old Pamela Kreimeyer, was hit in the head by a metal fragment and died instantly. The Marion County Sheriff's Office later revealed the family had been "experimenting with different types of explosive material." Moreover, in 2021, a California gender reveal party <a href="https://vt.co/news/us/couple-face-20-years-in-prison-after-gender-reveal-stunt-led-to-wildfire-that-killed-firefighter">triggered a wildfire that scorched over 7,000 acres</a>. Authorities suggested the family could be liable for the costs of extinguishing the blaze, which ran into millions of dollars. As these celebrations grow more extravagant for the benefit of guests and social media, there is no denying that they are also growing more hazardous. <h6>Featured image credit: Twitter</h6>
