Airplane crashes during gender reveal party, killing pilot

Airplane crashes during gender reveal party, killing pilot - lemm.ee

Warning: Crash video autoplays in article. A pilot died during a gender reveal party when his plane crashed after dispersing pink smoke in the air above the gathering. A video posted online shows a couple standing in front of a large lit up sign reading “Oh Baby,” before capturing the pilot flying low to the ground while releasing the pink smoke above the pair in San Pedro, Mexico. Just after flying over the couple, the plane’s left wing quickly snapped and the aircraft spiraled out of control and crashed in a nearby field.

They dont know what happened? That pilot used a crop dusting plane to do a strafing run, realized he was headed nose first into some palm trees and yanked up on the yoke. He sheered the wing straight off his plane and died for the mistake.

Sure that’s what caused the crash, but why did the wing snap? It didn’t look like the plane was in overspeed, and the airframe should be able to sustain any input maneuvers under normal flight conditions.

This is a crop duster, not a stunt plane. It’s not designed for that maneuver, so if you try, wings snap off. Iow, not normal flight conditions. Unlike civil engineers, you can’t slap a factor of safety of 10 on an airplane. It won’t fly.
