In the horrific accident, the squadron leader of the Bangladesh Air Force, Commander Asim Jawad, lost his life in the plane crash.

The internet is full of videos of various tragic accidents that happen in the air. Recently, another video surfaced online where a renowned pilot and squadron leader of the Bangladesh Air Force lost his life after a horrible plane crash. As reported by the Indian Express, a fighter jet stunt went horribly wrong when the plane went down. CCTV footage of the stunt went viral on YouTube, which showed the horrific accident. The whole scene looked like an action movie as the Yakovlev Yak-130 jet tried various air stunts.

Due to the tragic accident, the squadron leader of the Bangladesh Air Force, Commander Asim Jawad, lost his life in the plane crash. It has been reported that Commander Jawad was trying the low-altitude triple spin, which is a highly risky aerial trick (often shown in action films like Top Gun). Due to the low altitude, the stunt failed miserably, leading to the jet scraping along the runway with sparks and smoke coming out of the plane. The plane tried to take flight again but ultimately fell to the ground. Both Commander Jawad and his co-pilot, Sohan Hasan Khan, managed to eject from the Yakovlev Yak-130 and fell into a local river. However, Jawad died on the spot, while Khan has been hospitalised in critical condition.

The video shows scenes just before the crash where the jet twirls in the air and then falls to the ground, leading to a blast. The footage that was captured by security cameras shows smoke and sparks emitted by the fighter jet before the tragic accident happened. The Inter-Services Public Relations of Bangladesh (ISPR) has revealed that the crash was caused by a mechanical failure in the aircraft.

The clip showed how the accident took place. After the video was uploaded, people were shocked to see the stunt fail, leading to the crashing of the fighter. Many of them went to the comment section to pay condolences to the pilots. One of the users wrote, “It appears to show the crash was caused by the high-risk stunt." Another user commented, “That incident report will be a sad read . . . Condolences from a Navy aviation veteran."
