A couple in Sinaloa, Mexico, held what should have been a joyous occasion: a gender reveal party.
Things went horribly wrong when the plane performing the reveal stunt had a wing give way.
The plane went into a tailspin and crashed, killing the pilot.
The couple and attendees, meanwhile, seemed oblivious to the disaster that happened overhead.

A small Piper PA-25 Pawnee plane approaches them at a low altitude.
Once close by, the plane released a cloud of pink smoke overhead to signal that their baby would be a girl.
However, disaster struck as the plane’s left wing suddenly gave way. The plane shot upwards, spinning counter-clockwise uncontrollably to its doom and vanishing beyond a row of palm trees.

However, the couple and the other attendees seemed oblivious to the tragedy overhead. The couple embraced while their guests cheered them on.
Someone else filming the stunt outside the venue captured another angle of the horrific crash.

The pilot, 32-year-old Luis Ángel, died from his injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital.
The fatal crash came as the latest in a long line of gender reveal party disasters.
In 2020, a gender reveal party in California caused a wildfire that scorched 93 square km of land and killed a firefighter.
And in Feb 2021, a soon-to-be father died after a device he built for his child’s gender reveal party exploded.
