لقي 19 بنغالياً على الأقل مصرعهم، اليوم (الإثنين)، جراء تحطّم طائرة تدريب تابعة للقوات الجوية، بعد اصطدامها بمجمع تعليمي يضم كلية ومدرسة بالعاصمة دكا، بحسب مسؤول إدارة الإطفاء في بنغلاديش.
وأكد طبيب في المعهد الوطني للحروق وجراحات التجميل، للصحفيين، أن أكثر من 50 شخصاً، بينهم أطفال وبالغون، نُقلوا إلى المستشفى مصابين بحروق، فيما قال رئيس وحدة الحروق بالمستشفى التابع لكلية الطب في دكا، بيدهان ساركر، الذي نُقل إليه بعض الضحايا،: «نُقل طالب في الصف الثالث ميتاً، ودخل المستشفى 3 آخرون تراوح أعمارهم بين 12 و14 إلى جانب ضحية عمره 40 عاماً».
وذكرت إدارة العلاقات العامة بالجيش، في بيان: «تحطمت طائرة تدريب من طراز F-7 BGI التابعة لقوات بنغلايدش في أوتارا»، موضحة إن الطائرة أقلعت الساعة 13:06 بالتوقيت المحلي (07:06 بتوقيت غرينتش).
وتداول مواطنون بنغلاديشيون مقاطع مصورة، التقطت عقب الحادثة وتظهر حريقاً هائلا بالقرب من حديقة يتصاعد منه عمود كثيف من الدخان، بينما كان حشد من الناس يتابعون الحادثة من بعيد.
وقال رئيس الحكومة المؤقتة في بنغلايدش محمد يونس، إنه سيتم اتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة للتحقيق في سبب الحادثة وضمان تقديم جميع أنواع المساعدة، مضيفاً: «الخسائر التي تكبدها سلاح الجو والطلاب وأولياء الأمور والمعلمون والموظفون وغيرهم في هذا الحادثة لا تعوض».
وكانت صحيفة «بروثوم ألو» المحلية، قد قالت أن التقارير الأولية تشير إلى أن الطائرة تحطمت على سطح مطعم بالكلية.
يذكر أن هذه الحادثة جاءت بعد أكثر من شهر على تحطم طائرة تابعة لشركة الطيران الهندية «إير إنديا» فوق كلية طبية في مدينة أحمد أباد الهندية المجاورة، ما أودى بحياة 241 من أصل 242 راكباً على متنها و19 شخصاً على الأرض، في أسوأ كارثة طيران في العالم منذ 10 سنوات.

At least 19 Bangladeshis were killed today (Monday) due to the crash of a training aircraft belonging to the air force, after it collided with an educational complex that includes a college and a school in the capital, Dhaka, according to the fire department official in Bangladesh.
A doctor at the National Institute of Burns and Cosmetic Surgery confirmed to reporters that more than 50 people, including children and adults, were taken to the hospital with burns. The head of the burns unit at the hospital affiliated with Dhaka Medical College, Bidhan Sarkar, who received some of the victims, stated: "A third-grade student was brought in dead, and 3 others aged between 12 and 14, along with a 40-year-old victim, were admitted to the hospital."
The army's public relations department stated in a statement: "A training aircraft of the F-7 BGI model belonging to the Bangladesh Air Force crashed in Uttara," explaining that the aircraft took off at 13:06 local time (07:06 GMT).
Bangladeshi citizens circulated video clips taken after the incident showing a massive fire near a park, with a thick column of smoke rising from it, while a crowd of people watched the incident from a distance.
The interim government head in Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus, stated that necessary measures will be taken to investigate the cause of the incident and ensure all types of assistance are provided, adding: "The losses incurred by the air force, students, parents, teachers, staff, and others in this incident are irreplaceable."
The local newspaper "Prothom Alo" reported that initial reports indicate that the aircraft crashed onto the roof of a restaurant at the college.
It is noteworthy that this incident came more than a month after an aircraft belonging to the Indian airline "Air India" crashed over a medical college in the neighboring city of Ahmedabad, resulting in the deaths of 241 out of 242 passengers on board and 19 people on the ground, marking the worst aviation disaster in the world in the past 10 years.
