Another reason to avoid gender reveal parties, I guess
- As if wild fires weren’t enough.
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.
Fake news
Authorities did not release the pilot’s name, and the cause of the crash is not clear.
I'm no expert, but...
- So...they didn't even reveal the pilots gender? Maybe a gender reveal funeral?
- Some of these planes are built so the wings don't fall off

- My first RC Airplane I ever built folded like that.
  I instantly knew the spot I used Balsa Wood when I should have used Ply Wood.
  Took an hour to dig that engine out of the dirt.
- Looked like the confetti air cannon blew the wing off, rickety plane
  
  Nah it looks like he climbed too steep and the wing couldn't take the full force
That camera guy is a pro, focusing back on the party instead of the falling aircraft, he knows who’s paying him.
- In portrait mode, no less.
The gender ist DEATH
That plane would have failed sooner or later anyhow. What the hell we the mechanics doing?
- Looks like a stress failure that was deemed "nah, it'll hold" or missed entirely. Thankfully it didn't fall on people or crash into a building.
- Did you miss the part where you said Mexico?
  
  How is that relevant?
Gender reveal parties are stupid, I would not go to one and I would never have one.
Out with the old.
In with the new.
Well at least no wildfires...
