Why conduct flight training over the capital?
The crash of a Bangladesh Air Force F-7 BGI advanced training aircraft has, according to the latest reports, claimed the lives of 22 people and injured at least 150 more. The majority of the victims were students, many of whom remain in critical condition. The aircraft, which has a range of 1,750 kilometers, was inducted into the Bangladesh Air Force in 2013. It took off at 1:06 PM, and just nine minutes later, it crashed over Milestone School and College in the Diabari area of Uttara, setting parts of the school on fire. The children’s screams filled the air, creating a terrifying and chaotic scene.
