Milestone Tragedy: Expressions of grief and some observations
July 21, 2025, Monday, was a sunny day in the Bengali month of Srabon.

In an instant, the Diabari campus in Uttara seemed to transform into an unknown battlefield, where no one was an enemy of another. Many children, who had packed their bags to return home, lost their lives. Many parents lost their little princes and princesses forever. 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.
