There will be no shortage in treatment or rehabilitation. However, no matter what is done, nothing can compensate for the loss we have suffered today. Tomorrow has been declared a day of national mourning, and the national flag will be flown at half-staff.”

STORYLINE:
A Bangladesh Air Force training aircraft crashed into a school in Dhaka, the capital, shortly after take-off on Monday afternoon, catching fire and killing the pilot and at least 20 other people, most of whom were students, officials said.
Another 171 students were rescued with injuries from a smouldering two-story building, officials said, including many with burns who were whisked away in helicopters, motorized rickshaws and the arms of firefighters and parents.
The Chinese-made F-7 BGI training aircraft experienced a “technical malfunction” moments after take-off at 1:06 p.m. local time, and the pilot attempted to divert the plane to a less populated area before crashing into the campus of Milestone School and College, according to a statement from the military.
Students said the school’s buildings trembled violently, followed by a big explosion that sent them running for safety. A desperate scene soon unfolded at the crash site, as panicked relatives searched for loved ones. Screams filled the air at a nearby hospital.
The government announced a national day of mourning on Tuesday, with flags to fly at half-staff across the country.
