How did a Bangladesh air force fighter jet crash into a school campus?
Here is a look at what happened.
The fighter aircraft took off at 1:06 p.m. (0706 GMT) from the air force base in Dhaka's Kurmitola for a routine training mission, but experienced a mechanical failure soon after.
The pilot attempted to divert the aircraft away from densely populated areas to minimize civilian casualties and damage, but his efforts were unsuccessful and the jet crashed into a building.
The two-storey building that the plane rammed into belonged to the Milestone School and College in Dhaka's Diabari area, located about 10 kilometres (six miles) from the air force base.
Visuals from the scene showed the mangled remains of the aircraft dented into the side of the building, dismantling its iron grills and creating a gaping hole in the structure.
The bodies of at least 27 people, including 25 children, a teacher, and the jet's pilot, were pulled out from the debris.
More than 100 children and 15 other people were also injured, of whom 78 are still admitted in hospitals with burn injuries.
The jet was an F-7 fighter aircraft - the final and most advanced variant in China's Chengdu J-7/F-7 aircraft family, according to Jane's Information Group.
Bangladesh had signed a contract in 2011 for 16 such planes, and deliveries were completed by 2013.
The Bangladesh Air Force has formed a high-level investigation committee to probe the cause of the accident.
Muhammad Yunus, the head of the country's interim government, has also vowed to "take all necessary measures" to investigate its cause.
In the meantime, the government says it is providing "all kinds of assistance" to those affected.

Name blame game leaves old school in doghouse
I f something is failing — whether a car company or a political party — the first instinct of its new leader is 'Let's rebrand'. So I understand why the incoming head of my children's old state primary has changed its name, but I'm still inexplicably sad. Dog Kennel Hill School is not just a memorable name, it anchored generations of children to the neighbourhood's history, when southeast London was all fields and orchards stretching down to Kent. The kennels at the foot of the hill were for hunting hounds owned by the husband of Queen Anne, Prince George of Denmark, and were only demolished in 1908. Besides, as you can imagine, kids loved the quirky name and the cute doggy logo on their book bags.

Aer Lingus crew injured after plane suffers ‘tailstrike' during landing
Two Aer Lingus cabin crew members sustained injuries after a 'tailstrike' during an aborted plane landing, an investigation has revealed. An Airbus A321 flying from Dublin to Washington Dulles Airport on 30 August 2023 gained substantial damage after the incident, the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) has found. The injured cabin crew members were seated in the rear of the aircraft and sustained 'lower back ache and strain' when the plane made contact with the runway, known as a tailstrike. It was carrying 145 passengers and six crew members. As the aircraft descended, a drop in headwind and gusty conditions led to a partial loss of lift, which the pilot attempted to correct. During the landing, the plane bounced slightly, then pitched up too much, causing its tail to strike the runway. It became airborne again and landed 'uneventfully' in a second attempt. One of the injured cabin crew said that the first touchdown was similar to a hard landing – where an aircraft lands with greater speed and force than normal. She heard a bang during the second touchdown which seemed to come from underneath the aircraft. She said she had experienced hard landings before, but nothing like this incident. She also told the investigation that she was not aware of the term 'tailstrike' before the event and that the subject had not been covered during regular safety training. According to the report, an audible safety feature designed to prevent tailstrikes was not emitted by the flight warning system, which meant the crew was not informed in advance. As a result, the 'tailstrike checklist' was not actioned. A report from a US-based repair organisation found damage on the outside of the plane, including material loss with punctures and cracks at the frame stations, but minimal internal defects were created. The aircraft was grounded requiring repairs and did not return to operation until January 2024, five months after the incident. Following the occurrence, the operator outlined several implemented Safety Actions including tailstrike awareness and identification in annual cabin crew member training and tailstrike awareness simulator training for flight crew. A spokesperson for Aer Lingus told The Independent: ' Aer Lingus has received the AAIU's report into a tail-strike occurrence on a landing at Washington Dulles Airport in August 2023. 'Aer Lingus engaged extensively with the AAIU during its investigation process and implemented a number of safety actions following the occurrence, including implementing training-related safety actions covering awareness and identification, as well as simulator training. 'Aer Lingus notes that consequently there were no safety recommendations contained in the AAIU's report.'

A squadron of spitfires or something that will land and needed petrol and ammunition, we could all do it in about 20 minutes and they'd be ready for take off again."
