At least 19 people lost their lives and 164 were injured when a Bangladesh air force training jet crashed onto a college and school campus in Dhaka on Monday. The incident occurred after the aircraft encountered a technical malfunction shortly after takeoff, according to a military official.

The F-7 BGI jet, which departed at 1:06 p.m. from the Bangladesh Air Force base in Kurmitola, Dhaka, was conducting a standard training session when it experienced a mechanical issue, reported Lieutenant Colonel Sami Ud Dowla Chowdhury, the military spokesperson.

“The pilot … made a courageous attempt to steer the jet away from populated areas. Despite his efforts, the aircraft … collided with a two-story building of Milestone School and College,” he explained.

The pilot was among those killed in the incident, the military said, adding that a committee had been formed to investigate its cause.

“When I was picking (up) my kids and went to the gate, I realized something came from behind … I heard an explosion. When I looked back, I only saw fire and smoke,” said Masud Tarik, a teacher at the school.

The incident comes a little over a month after an Air India plane crashed on top of a medical college hostel in neighboring India’s Ahmedabad city, killing 241 of the 242 people on board and 19 on the ground, marking the world’s worst aviation disaster in a decade.
