Grief and angst continued to grip Bangladesh on Wednesday, two days after a jet crashed into a school building as the death toll climbed to 32, with most victims being children.

The F-7 BGI aircraft, a training fighter jet manufactured in China, experienced a mechanical fault moments after takeoff and crashed into a two-story building of Milestone School and College in Dhaka's Uttara area on Monday.

Thousands of students on Tuesday protested in Dhaka demanding "accurate" information on casualties and compensation for the families of those killed in the Bangladesh Air Force training jet crash into the school.
