Yesterday, the scenic area near Dhaka's international airport took a heartbreaking turn when a military jet collided with the school during a training exercise. The aircraft crashed into the second floor, affecting children in the third and fourth grades. The aftermath revealed gut-wrenching scenes as many of the injured, including 25 who are reported to be in critical condition, were young students. Tragically, the pilot lost his life in the attempt to redirect the aircraft to a less populated area.

Eyewitness accounts depicted a terrifying scenario, with Emon Islam, a nearby high school student, recalling, "I saw the windows of the aircraft shattered, and it was burning up in flames, with black smoke rising into the sky." The incident raises calls for reviews of aviation safety standards as the nation mourns the victims of this horrific crash.
