Bangladesh plane crash: Three students, two guardians still missing
Dhaka: Five people, including three students and two guardians from Bangladesh's Milestone school and college are still missing after Monday's horrific air crash in Dhaka, an official statement by the institute detailed on Thursday. On a routine training exercise early Monday afternoon, the Bangladesh Air Force FT-7 BGI fighter had crashed into the building on the permanent Diabari campus of Milestone School and college. The students were reportedly waiting for their guardians after school when the plane crashed, leaving everyone 'shocked', 'speechless' and 'utterly overwhelmed', reported Bangladesh's leading daily, 'The Dhaka Tribune'. Everyone nearby rushed to the spot to assist in rescue efforts, and were soon joined by personnel from the Bangladesh Army, Fire services, Air Force, Navy and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), undertaking a high risk operation. The school authority, with utmost grief, further confirmed the death of 18 school students, as well as two teachers and two guardians. It was reported by local media that 40 students, along with seven teachers, one guardian, and two staff members were seriously injured, taking the number of injured to 51. The Milestone school authorities said that the number of these figures were reflected to only those associated with Milestone School and college, with continuous efforts to update any given information. Further, according to the notice released by the school, the list of the total figure of casualty is being compiled as well as released by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of the Bangladesh armed forces. The school authorities expressed their condolences to the families that suffered "and are suffering" because of the crash, affirming their continued support for the treatment of the ones injured.

Russia plane crash: 48 onboard killed, no survivors, confirm officials
All 48 people, including the crew and passengers, onboard the Antonov AN-24 plane that crashed in Russia's Far East, have died, the head of the country's Amur region said in a statement on Thursday. Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said earlier that it had found the burning fuselage of the Soviet-designed twin turbo prop plane on a hillside south of its planned destination in the town of Tynda, more than 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) east of Moscow, news agency AP reported. The plane, which was operated by the Siberia-based Angara Airlines, had initially departed from Khabarovsk before making its way to Blagoveshchensk on the Russian-Chinese border and onwards to Tynda. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the crash. Russia's Interfax news agency said there were adverse weather conditions at the time of the crash, citing unnamed sources in the emergency services. Several Russian news outlets also reported that the aircraft was almost 50 years old, citing data taken from the plane's tail number. Images of the reported crash site circulated by Russian state media show debris scattered among dense forest, surrounded by plumes of smoke. Regional Gov. Vasily Orlov said rescuers struggled to reach the site due to its remote location, 15 kilometers (9 miles) south of Tynda. The transport prosecutor's office in the Far East said in an online statement that the plane was attempting to land for a second time when it lost contact with air traffic control and disappeared from radars. Orlov announced three days of mourning in the Amur region to mark the disaster, which he described as a 'terrible tragedy.' A previous statement from the govenor said that 49 people had been onboard the flight. The reason for the discrepancy was not immediately clear, the AP report said. The authorities have launched a probe on the charge of flight safety violations that resulted in multiple deaths, a standard procedure in aviation accidents. Aviation incidents have been frequent in Russia, especially in recent years as international sanctions have squeezed the country's aviation sector.
