Pilot dies after crashing plane during a gender reveal stunt

A pilot has died after his plane crashed during a gender reveal in Sinaloa, Mexico on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

The pilot, who has been identified as Luis Ángel, was hired by a happy couple, who were celebrating their pregnancy with family and friends, to fly his small jet over them and dump either pink or blue colored powder to indicate the gender of their baby

In a video circulating online, the plane was seen releasing pink smoke as it flew over the couple waiting in front of a sign that reads ‘Oh baby,’ surrounded by pink and blue balloons. The video further captured the moment the plane’s left wing appears to separate from the fuselage as it flies away from the group of people below.

Unfortunately, the family and friends were seemingly unaware of the terrifying crash and continued cheering the couple as they locked in a kiss in front of a decoration of blue and pink balloons. Luis Ángel was transported to a hospital in Navolato in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries.

However, authorities are now at the property where the incident took place investigating the crash.
