A pilot was killed during a celebration of new life. Before the disaster, a family was holding a ceremony to announce the gender of their newborn child by using smoke launched by a tiny plane.

The expecting couple from San Pedro, Mexico, held hands outside by an 'oh baby' sign. As the jet began to ascend, pink vapor was discharged, announcing that the couple was expecting a daughter.

The plane came dangerously near to hitting the ground due to this performance. He attempted to pull up as the fireworks for the reveal began to go off beneath him. However, this caused his plane's wings to crumple, rendering him unable to fly.


This ended in a crash, leaving 32-year-old pilot Luis Ngel critically injured. He was rushed to the hospital to be treated for his injuries, but he died before the doctors could stabilize him.
