Horror moment gender reveal party turns deadly as plane nosedives and crashes killing pilot Luis Angel N. in front of cheering guests​

• The happy couple were celebrating their pregnancy with family and friends in Sinaloa, Mexico, and hired a small jet to fly past
• The Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee aircraft suddenly shot upwards, rotating on its side as one of its wings collapsed mid-air

A gender reveal party turned deadly after a small plane nosedived and killed the pilot in front of cheering guests - who were oblivious to the tragedy that unfolded above their heads.

The happy couple were celebrating their pregnancy with family and friends in Sinaloa, Mexico, and hired a small jet to fly past and dump either pink or blue colored powder to indicate the gender of their baby.

As the plane approached the mom and dad-to-be, who were standing next to an 'Oh baby' sign, it released pink smoke from its fuselage - indicating they would be having a daughter.

Shrills and cheers of joy erupted as the loved-up couple kissed beneath the pink residue on September 2.

But in the same moment, the Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee aircraft suddenly shot upwards, rotating on its side as one of its wings collapsed mid-air.

Sounds like a shitty flight...

Unless you’re taking your pants off at your seat, that kinda mess is normally at least partially contained. It must take effort to get that “throughout”.

I suppose it would depend on the consistency and volume of material. Tighty whities and chinos aren't going to stop a large volume of liquid from spreading...

Wildfire possibly caused by plane crash grows to 600 acres, is 50% contained​

A wildfire in Ocean County discovered not long after an airplane crashed nearby had spread to 600 acres Sunday night, but was 50% contained, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service said.

The blaze is in the area of Robert J. Miller Airpark in Lacey, southeast of Ocean County Airport, which is just over the Berkeley Township line from the park.

A plane crashed about a half mile from the airport Saturday at about 10:15 p.m., the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has said. One pilot was on board when the Cirrus SR22, a single-engine fixed-landing gear craft, went down in a secluded area.
