Oh dear. Small plane towing banner goes down, crashes and burns in Montreal - pdq - 10-05-2021
The banner read Will you marry me?
The plane, a Cessna 172, was towing a banner with a marriage proposal when it went down shortly after 6 p.m. ET, TSB spokesperson Chris Krepski said.
Krepski said the proposal banner, which is believed to have fallen into the St-Lawrence river shortly before the crash, hasn't been found.
Not the first showy personal-event-message that ended poorly. The WaPo version of the story notes:
In February, an expectant father in New York died after a device he was making with his brother to release pink or blue smoke at a gender reveal exploded unexpectedly. That same month, a man died at a Michigan baby shower after the parents-to-be fired off a novelty cannon. And in March, a small plane emitting a pink cloud for a gender reveal off the coast of Cancún crashed, killing both the pilot and co-pilot.
Be careful out there, people.
