The parents of the twins, Yasin Majumder and Aklima Akter, expressed heartfelt thanks to the hospital authorities for their compassion and to the interim government for its support during the long recovery period.
The tragic incident occurred on July 21, when a Bangladesh Air Force training jet crashed into a two-story building of Milestone School and College. The accident resulted in 36 deaths and 124 injuries. An investigation later identified a pilot operational error as the cause of the crash.
