Three days after the catastrophic plane crash near Milestone School and College, remnants of the wreckage still lie scattered across the campus—silent witnesses to an unthinkable tragedy.

Once a place filled with the laughter of young students, the campus now echoes with grief. Those who once rushed to the windows with excitement to catch a glimpse of planes overhead now freeze in terror at the sound of engines.

On Wednesday, July 23, a visit to the scene revealed a campus cloaked in silence. The once vibrant grounds, where children played and shared stories during recess, are now subdued—colored only by sorrow. Familiar faces are now absent, gone down unfamiliar paths.

There will be no more lunch shared on the steps, no more secrets whispered between friends. For these tender hearts, grappling with such loss is a burden too heavy for their age.

This was once a campus of celebration—its walls held the joy of dreams and youth. Now, the sound of an airplane overhead no longer inspires awe, but dread.

One day, perhaps, laughter will return. Paintbrushes may once again dance across the walls, and flowers may bloom where tears once fell.

But the scar that now runs through the soul of Milestone School—how can that emptiness ever truly be healed?
