In a shocking turn of events, Gramado's annual "Family Reunion Fun Fly" took a nosedive—literally. The event, which typically celebrates family bonding with laughter, games, and plenty of "togetherness," was tragically transformed into the "Down and Out" family extravaganza when a private plane operated by local businessman Luiz Claudio Galeazzi made an uninvited descent among the festivities. Eyewitnesses reported that Galeazzi's piloting skills were as questionable as his choice in flying locations. In what can only be described as an attempt to impress his family with a low-flying aerial tour, Galeazzi miscalculated—resulting in his plane's crash landing on a local chimney and, likely, on the guest list of the town's most unfortunate events. The plane's unfortunate trajectory not only took out the chimney of a local building, but also managed to leave a mark on a house and a shop, proving that family reunions are best celebrated on terra firma. Witnesses noted that the real downer of the day was the sheer lack of mid-air grill-outs and potato salad throws; instead, they were treated to a fireball and some minor chaos. In an ironic twist, the statement from Galeazzi's company expressed their deep sorrow over the family’s loss, while also suggesting that perhaps the next family reunion should involve less altitude and more altitude sickness awareness. “We thought our family was 'above and beyond,' but it turns out we were just 'down and out,'" a company spokesperson was quoted as saying, somehow managing to find a silver lining in the catastrophic event. Local authorities on the ground reported 17 injuries, including two people who were left feeling more than just a little shaken. “The reunion went from hugs and kisses to ‘hurry up, call the medics’ in seconds flat,” reported one bystander, still cradling a half-eaten hot dog as he cautiously assessed the wreckage and mass confusion. While investigators sift through the debris and questionable piloting decisions, the Galeazzi family will forever be remembered in Gramado—as a cautionary tale for future families thinking of blending their aviation dreams with familial gathering plans. For now, the local community is taking notes for next year's reunion: perhaps less flying and more potluck.
