On July 21, a Bangladesh Air Force F-7 BGI training jet crashed into Milestone School & College in Dhaka, killing at least 25 children and 31 people total, and injuring over 160. The pilot reported technical issues shortly after takeoff. This tragedy has spotlighted the safety of China-made F-7 jets, which have now been involved in seven crashes in Bangladesh over two decades. Public anger has surged, with students protesting, demanding justice and grounding of the aircraft. Authorities have launched a high-level inquiry and declared a national day of mourning.
