Hundreds of students gathered outside the smouldering remains of a school in the Bangladeshi capital on Tuesday to demand answers after a military jet slammed into the campus, killing dozens of children.

A Bangladeshi military training aircraft crashed into the campus of a school in Dhaka, killing the pilot and at least 19 others, mostly students, officials say.

The incident came a little over a month after an Air India plane crashed on top of a medical college hostel in neighbouring 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.
