How did a Bangladesh air force fighter jet crash into a school campus?
NEW DELHI, July 22 (Reuters) - At least 25 children were among the 27 people killed when a Bangladesh Air Force plane crashed into a college and school campus in the capital city of Dhaka on Monday. Here is a look at what happened. HOW DID THE CRASH OCCUR? 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. WHERE DID THE PLANE GO DOWN? 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. WHICH AIRCRAFT WAS INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT? 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. HOW HAVE AUTHORITIES REACTED? 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. (Compiled by Sakshi Dayal; Edited by Saad Sayeed)

School plans to convert former pub into classrooms
An empty Grantham pub could be turned into a sixth-form centre by a nearby school. The King's School has applied to convert the former Five Bells on Brook Street for use by its Year 12 and 13 students. In its planning application, the boys' school said the revamped space would provide "teaching and study spaces specifically tailored to the needs of older students preparing for A-level examinations and university entrance". It would also be used for offices. Plans include removing the bar area, the cellars and the kitchen and converting them into smaller rooms. The application said "no significant external alterations are proposed" except possibly ramps and door widening to improve accessibility. The bid will be considered by South Kesteven District Council. The King's School's former pupils include Sir Isaac Newton and 18th Century Poet Laureate Colley Cibber.

H-E-B support trucks create 'powerful moment' for Texans
When disaster strikes in Texas, it's not just first responders people look for — it's those familiar H-E-B trucks, rolling in like family. Catch up quick: H-E-B has a disaster relief program that is often deployed during hurricane season, but also responded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the weekend, H-E-B went back home to Kerrville — where it was founded more than 100 years ago — to help the hard-hit community. Zoom in: Kenneth and Danielle Austin captured the moment in a now-viral Facebook post showing a convoy of H-E-B disaster relief trucks loaded with food and supplies, rolling through I-10 toward Kerrville. What they're saying:"They helped our family last year during the hurricane that hit Sargent," the couple tells Axios in a joint comment. "It was such a powerful moment to see them driving in again to help another Texas community in need." "We hold compassion and strength for everyone who has been impacted, and we remain committed to offer unwavering support to our communities," H-E-B said in a statement.
