A gender-reveal party in Iowa turned tragic over the weekend when a 56-year-old woman was killed by debris from an explosion connected to the event, authorities said.
The incident occurred Saturday afternoon at a home in Knoxville, about 40 miles southeast of Des Moines, according to a statement from the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

On Saturday afternoon five family members and the expectant mother gathered and placed gunpowder in the bottom of a homemade stand that was welded to a metal base plate. A hole had been drilled in the side for a fuse, a piece of wood was placed on top of the gunpowder and colored powder was placed on top of the board. Tape was then wrapped over the top of the metal tubing, inadvertently creating a pipe bomb.
She was standing with other family members approximately 45 feet from the device. It’s believed that the projectile that struck the victim then continued another 144 yards through the air coming to rest in a field.”

Either the explosion was too large, or she was too close. Anyway, explosions at a gender reveal party? What happened to just putting a blue or pink stork on your lawn and being done with it?

Maybe that can put an end to these dumb parties?

What happened to simply calling the handful of people in your life you actually like and telling them on the phone?

Our investigation showed that members of the Kreimeyer family were experimenting with different types of explosive material on Friday and Saturday in an attempt to record a gender reveal that could be posted on social media for friends and family. On Saturday afternoon five family members and the expectant mother gathered and placed gunpowder in the bottom of a homemade stand that was welded to a metal base plate. A hole had been drilled in the side for a fuse, a piece of wood was placed on top of the gunpowder and colored powder was placed on top of the board. Tape was then wrapped over the top of the metal tubing, inadvertently creating a pipe bomb.

Social media was literally the death of this woman.

Gender reveal parties are dumb. But explosions are cool. So it kinda evens out.

Not really. You didnt read the article, huh?

No joke, a friend of mine's sister (no pics) and her husband did one (to post on FB of course). The guy shot a deer rifle about 50 yards away from a tank that blew up and they somehow had the blue smoke attached to the tank.
One of the trashiest videos I've seen in a while.

Nothing says Welcome new B or G, like an iron pipe filled with black powder and fertilizer.

That sounds bad arse. I'd go to a party like that. If I ever conceive, we're gonna make a functional terminator that chases us down and once we blow it up or melt it, the titanium skeleton will be blue or pink. It's gonna be awesome.
