Looked like he was doing a high G pullout and suffered a structural failure. Those old planes have been flown to death. That should have been workaday stuff. Hard to know if pilot exceeded G limits or something just broke. Due to the harsh nature of crop duster payloads, rust and corrosion are ever present problems.

The pathetic thing about this gender-reveal party idiocy is that the fetus might not come to full term, might have horrible complications and might even turn out to be non-binary.

Old crop-duster {AgCat?)flying in Mexico. Looks like the left wing spar snapped -corrosion much?

I'm a pilot. I'd never fly a Mexican-licensed ag aircraft without a full IRAN inspection.

Like you Bill, I have never understood this silly stupidity of it.

More commercializing of everything in our modern times!

The accident report I read stated it was a Piper Pawnee. 50+ years old. I'm sure the pilot cleaned the pesticide out of the tank real good before spraying the crowd with the pink water.

just saw an extended cut .. BOTH wings folded up

On the bright side, the party obviously continued after the crash……..
