The death toll from the military aircraft crash at Milestone School and College in Uttara has climbed to 36 following the death of a 15-year-old victim at the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery on Saturday.
Tasnia, a class VIII student of the school who suffered 37% burn injuries, passed away at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital around 7:55am, confirmed Shaon Bin Rahman, resident surgeon of the institute.
The deadly crash took place on July 21, shortly after an FT-7 BGI fighter jet departed from the Kurmitola Airbase, triggering a massive fire that killed many, most of them children.
