While reporting on the aviation disaster in Dhaka in which a military jet crashed into a school building killing at least 31 people, some media outlets used photos of an aircraft engulfed in flames stranded in the middle of what appears to be a playground. Some others carried a photograph of the wreckage of a large aircraft near a partially damaged L-shaped building.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
