A man was killed Sunday in New York after the device he was constructing for his upcoming kid’s gender-reveal party exploded. The blast occurred at a home in Liberty, killing Christopher Pekny, 28, and injuring his brother Michael Pekny, 27. Police said the incident remains under investigation. The deceased’s oldest brother termed it as ’the freakiest of freak accidents that I could ever imagine.’
Gender reveal parties are so dumb. No one cares about the gender of your stupid baby. Just bake a colorful cake and serve some booze. No explosions, wildfires, etc.
That is horrible. That kid will grow up without a dad, which just sucks.
Can we stop making explosives and pyrotechnics for gender reveal parties? Ya know what's even better Being there for the baby.
Does that mean the kids going to grow up to be a suicide bomber? Sorry, too soon?
so it finally happened huh. what a shite way to go out. your life reduced to some mediocre headline. smh.
Did they learn nothing from the last gender reveal party? Just stick with the dyed interior of the cake, for goodness sake
This is horrible. And he was only 28 too. He was definitely young enough to know the horror stories of other "gender reveal" parties.
With all the restrictions on fire arms you would think it would be just a little harder to build an explosive. In which case Isis would like to know what they used.
Darwin wins again! Only difference is, I'm not sure intelligence quotients were calculated into his equation.
I didn't realize that fatherless was a gender.
This happens every couple of months just make blue or red cocktails and have a normal drunken party.
......well...I hope it was worth the fuss?
Can we ban these yet?
there is no lifeguard in the gene pool
Do stupid stuff win stupid prizes
The headline implies that they’ll be sacrificing the dad for a gender reveal
Fools
Why is Gender such an Explosive Topic?
Such a stupid way to die. I used to feel bad for these people but now everyone knows how dangerous these explosives are, and they still choose to put others lives at risk over it. Was decimating a forest not enough? I feel like 10 years from now they’re going to be having support groups for all the kids who lost their pyro parents during their gender reveal
The largest gender reveal party was on Aug 6, 1945 when Japan learned that the US had a Little Boy.
