Bunch of flowers brings down light aircraft
Wedding flowers thrown from a small aircraft at the wedding reception get stuck in the engine intake, causing engine failure and bring down the aircraft.

How very unfortunate but, OTOH, that is why the mil carry out separation trials for anything which is going to be dropped from an aircraft and why, so often, the deceased's ashes end up back inside the aeroplane.
Snot rokit siens as anyone who drives bike, car, lorry can easily demonstrate.
Hope the bride will be OK.
