A new report has revealed how a gender reveal stunt gone wrong was responsible for a plane crashing.

In September, the pilot flew a crop-dusting plane low to the ground and dropped around 350 gallons of pink water as part of a gender reveal celebration in Texas.
But after dumping the water, the plane started to stall before losing altitude and plummeting to the ground.
"The airplane 'got too slow', aerodynamically stalled, impacted terrain and came to rest inverted," a new report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) states.
"The pilot reported that there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation."
The plane suffered substantial damage to its fuselage, right wing and empennage.
The pilot, 49-year-old Raj Horan, was not injured in the crash, but passenger Jennifer Harrell suffered minor injuries, according to the incident report.
Gender reveal parties have grown increasingly popular around the world, but the increasingly elaborate stunts are increasingly causing injuries.
Last month, an Iowa woman died after she was struck by debris when a homemade device meant to spray colourful powder into the air instead exploded like a pipe bomb.
