The aftermath of the fighter jet crash in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Tuesday, shifted from sorrow to outrage. The incident, which occurred a day prior, involved a military aircraft colliding with a school, resulting in the country's most devastating aviation disaster in many years.
The crash took place on Monday at the private Milestone School and College in Dhaka. The students had just been dismissed from their classes when the Chinese-made F-7 BJI aircraft struck the building.
The death toll has risen to at least 31 individuals, surpassing the initial count provided by the military. Additionally, over 170 people sustained injuries in the accident, with 69 still receiving medical care at various hospitals. Health officials reported that ten patients were in critical condition.
A protest erupted on the school grounds, with students expressing accusations against the government regarding the accuracy of the death toll. They also demanded a comprehensive list of those injured in the crash. One student, speaking anonymously, described the scene, highlighting the presence of numerous students in the building and the widespread scattering of body parts. The student also alleged that military personnel had used force against students and teachers who questioned the situation.

Justice for the victims! Demand answers, transparency, and an independent investigation.

The government needs to be completely transparent. We need the truth, and we need it now!

Instead of protesting, maybe these students should be focusing on grieving and getting counseling.

Protests and accusations at a time like this? Absolutely disrespectful to the victims and their families.
