**Tragic Plane Crash in San Diego Shakes the Alternative Rock Music Scene**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the alternative rock community reeling, a small private plane carrying the members of the indie band “The Unplugged Unicorns” tragically crashed into a taco stand in San Diego yesterday. Eyewitnesses report that the plane was attempting to perform a mid-air cover of “Wonderwall” when it lost altitude and plummeted into a sea of guacamole and confused customers.
Local taco enthusiast and self-proclaimed music critic, Juan “Taco” Bell, was at the scene. “I was just trying to enjoy my carne asada fries when suddenly, boom! It was like a bad music video gone wrong,” he said, while simultaneously trying to salvage his lunch. “I mean, who knew ‘crash landing’ was a genre?”
The band’s lead singer, 27-year-old Chad “Chadster” McGuffin, was reportedly trying to impress a group of fans by flying the plane himself. “I thought it would be a great way to promote our new album, ‘Tacos and Tears,’” he said from his hospital bed, where he is recovering from a mild case of guacamole poisoning. “I guess I should have stuck to just playing the guitar.”
In the wake of the crash, fellow alternative rockers have come together to support the band. “This is a tragedy for all of us,” said renowned emo icon, My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way. “I mean, we’ve all had our fair share of bad gigs, but this takes the cake. Or should I say, the taco?”
As the investigation continues, the San Diego taco stand has announced plans to honor the band by creating a new menu item: “The Unplugged Burrito,” which will feature a surprise ingredient—guacamole, of course. Meanwhile, fans are left wondering if this incident will inspire a new genre of music: “Aero-Rock,” where bands perform while flying in planes, preferably with parachutes.
In a final statement, McGuffin added, “If we can survive this, we can survive anything. Except maybe a bad review from Pitchfork.”
