“The exact number of people killed and injured must be made public. The second demand is to clarify what fault existed in the plane and why it crashed. When your air force launches a plane, you are supposed to check for any defects beforehand — did you not inspect that plane? This question must be answered. And you must also explain why our teachers were attacked (during the protest). An apology must be made to them.”

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of students protested Tuesday near the site of the crash of a Bangladesh air force training jet into a school in the nation’s capital, demanding accountability, compensation for victims’ families and the halt of training flights.
The ongoing unrest over Monday’s crash shut down traffic in parts of Dhaka, a city still recovering from last year’s student uprising that ousted the prime minister as the interim government seeks to restore order and organize elections next year.
Some students entered the country’s administrative headquarters and were dispersed with tear gas and stun grenades.
The death toll from the crash rose to 31, including at least 25 students, a teacher who died from burns she sustained while helping others escape the two-storey building, and the pilot on his first solo flight.
Officials said 171 people, mostly students at Milestone School and College and many with burns, were rescued.
As Bangladesh declared Tuesday a day of national mourning, the military launched an investigation into the crash in Dhaka’s densely populated Uttara neighborhood.
The civil aviation authority was not directly involved.
High Court judges asked the government to form a technical committee to investigate as well.
The protesting students demanded “accurate” publication of identities of the dead and injured, compensation for families and an immediate halt to the use of “outdated and unsafe” training aircraft by the Bangladesh air force.
