Bangladesh training jet hits busy school
-
Families and teachers gathered yesterday at a Bangladeshi school where a training fighter jet crashed, killing 25 children and two others in the country’s deadliest aviation accident in decades.
Most of the victims were pupils who had just been let out of class when the Chinese-made F-7 BJl aircraft slammed into the Milestone School and College on Monday.
“So far, 27 people have died. Among them, 25 are children and one isa pilot)” said Sayedur Rahman from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, updating an earlier death toll of 20.
“Seventy-eight people are being treated in different hospitals,’ added Mr Rahman, special assistant to the ministry's chief adviser.
More than 170 people were injured in the crash, said the military which is investigating the cause.
The usually bustling school was eerily quiet yesterday morning, with classes cancelled.
