A Bangladesh Air Force training jet crashed into Milestone School and College in Dhaka, killing at least 31 people, most of them children, and injuring over 160. The Chinese-made F-7 BGI aircraft suffered a mechanical failure shortly after takeoff before plummeting into the school during lunchtime.
The tragedy has sparked national grief, protests by students demanding accountability, and calls to relocate military training away from densely populated areas. Heroic teachers lost their lives trying to save students, and the incident has become the deadliest aviation disaster in Bangladesh in decades.
The government has declared a day of mourning and launched an investigation into the crash.
