Milestone Tragedy: Expressions of grief and some observations
July 21, 2025, Monday, was a sunny day in the Bengali month of Srabon. But at noon that day, a tragic crash or accident of a Bangladesh Air Force fighter jet at the campus of Milestone School and College turned the day into a national tragedy for Bangladesh. In an instant, the Diabari campus in Uttara seemed to transform into an unknown battlefield, where no one was an enemy of another.

The pilot of the aircraft, promising Air Force officer Flight Lieutenant Towkir Islam, also perished. So far, 34 people have died in the accident, most of them school children.
