A pilot has died after the plane he was flying as part of a gender reveal party in Mexico crashed on Sunday. <\/p>\n
Video posted online shows the plane releasing pink smoke as it flies over a couple waiting in front of a sign that reads \u201cOh baby,\u201d surrounded by pink and blue balloons. <\/p>\n
The recording captures the moment the plane\u2019s left wing appears to separate from the fuselage as it flies away from the group of people below. <\/p>\n

Authorities did not release the pilot\u2019s name, and the cause of the crash is not clear. <\/p>\n
No further injuries were reported as a result of the accident. <\/p>\n
Gender reveal parties were conceived as a fun way of telling family and friends whether they were about to welcome a girl or a boy into the world. <\/p>\n
Originally low key affairs involving the cutting of a cake with colored icing, or maybe some fireworks, some expectant parents have decided instead on risky and expensive gender reveals. <\/p>\n
At a 2017 reveal in Arizona, guests were asked to shoot at a makeshift target scrawled with the words \u201cBoy\u201d and \u201cGirl.\u201d <\/p>\n
When the target \u2013 packed with the highly explosive Tannerite \u2013 exploded, a blue cloud poofed upward and immediately ignited the surrounding brush. <\/p>\n
It was a boy, and the party ended up costing the guilty patrons more than $8 million in restitution after it set off a wildfire spanning 47,000 acres. <\/p>\n
And in Iowa in October 2019, a gender reveal party went south when the family unintentionally built a pipe bomb. When the device went off the entire pipe exploded, sending shrapnel flying that hit and killed a grandmother standing nearby. <\/p>\n\n
