A major disaster occurred in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. A military training flight crashed into a school where children were being educated. The plane caught fire immediately after the impact, and preliminary reports indicate that many students lost their lives and several others were injured.
The horrific accident took place on the campus of Milestone College in the Diabari area of Dhaka. According to eyewitnesses, the plane crashed to the ground after hitting trees next to the school building and began to burn with a large explosion. There were hundreds of students at the kindergarten and primary school levels on the campus.
In videos shared on social media, the campus is seen engulfed in thick smoke, flames spreading rapidly, and students trying to escape amidst screams. Firefighters and military teams, who quickly arrived at the scene, intervened in the fire and evacuated the injured.
A teacher reported that some students had their clothes burned, while others suffered serious burns on their bodies. Injured students were transported to hospitals by rickshaws and minibuses called to the scene. According to initial reports, more than six students were hospitalized with severe burns, and the number of deceased has not yet been confirmed, but local sources indicate that the death toll could be high.
While the cause of the accident is still unclear, the Bangladesh Armed Forces have launched a wide-ranging investigation.
This tragic event also brings to mind another plane crash that occurred in England a few days ago. Four people lost their lives in a private plane that crashed in Southend.
The disaster in Dhaka has raised serious questions about flight safety in civilian areas and the oversight of military training flights.
