A gender reveal party in Mexico turned tragic after a pilot died during a stunt that was part of the celebration. The plane crashed in front of the guests at the gender reveal event, causing the pilot's demise. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the plane, Piper PA-25 Pawnee, flew above the couple, standing in front of a giant sign that read, "Oh Baby". It then lost control and eventually crashed into open space. As the plane crashed, pink smoke emerged, filling the area where the guests were celebrating. The incident occurred in the Sinaloa region of Mexico, the New York Post reported. The pilot who died during the plane crash was 32-year-old Luis Angel N. It can be seen in the video that the plane's left wing was pulling apart from the rest of the aircraft.

They rushed him to the hospital where he died. Some X users slammed the couple hosting the party, while others could not believe the guests were ignorant of what happened. "These gender reveal parties are getting out of hand when people die annually because of them," one user wrote. "For a moment, I thought all the screaming was because they saw the plane," another user wrote.

However, the excitement quickly turned to horror as the plane nose-dived into the ocean, killing the pilot and co-pilot. The cause of the disaster is still not known. People are opting for over-the-top and dangerous ways for gender reveal parties. In 2022, a couple in Brazil painted a waterfall blue to make a gender reveal.
