A small plane that crashed in Texas in September was flying “too slow” as part of a gender reveal stunt, a new report from US authorities has found.
The NTSB has concluded that the pilot of the crop duster was maneuvering the plane at a low altitude in order to “dump about 350 gallons (1,325 litres) of pink water for a gender reveal”.
The crash is the latest in a series of accidents that have occurred as a result of dangerous gender reveal incidents.

Bloody chaos has reigned in Syria for a long time now; Assad’s brutal forces let that genie out of the bottle and cannot now contain it. Is Mr Lavrov really concerned about the ordinary citizens of Syria? I somehow doubt it, as he has shown nothing but idle disdain for them up to now.
Kevin, I agreed. I’ve seen execution, beheading etc on YouTube. Shocking stuff! Christians all over the world….be on guard!
It’s already bloody chaos has anyone seen the VICE documentary? It’s on YouTube and there in Syria filming all the mad stuff!
If it is the case that Assad is defeated, Alawites, Kurds, Shias, Christians, and any other minority group will be subject to a wide range of dire circumstances, as there are an increasing level of sectarianism from the rebels. Although that being said if Assad succeeds then anyone who sided with the rebels will targeted, it looks like whatever the outcome will be, it will be more “bloody chaos”.
