In the wild jungle of social media, where wild claims sprout like weeds, a Facebook page called “Anonymous Main Page” has stirred up a storm. A recent post, paired with a creepy image of a masked figure, claims the page warned about a plane crash at Milestone College in Bangladesh, leaving many dead, and now boasts that its “prophecy” came true. The post, shared by many around the country, suggests this was no fluke but a deliberate prediction, with the page now milking the coincidence for attention. But hold onto your hats—did this so-called hacking collective really see the future, or are we dealing with a bunch of scammers trying to cash in on tragedy? With a wry grin at our own eagerness to believe, we’ve sifted through the mess to separate fact from fiction.
The Claim That Caught Fire
The post, uploaded at 9:09 PM on July 20, 2025, features a hooded figure in a Joker-like mask, a staple of the “Anonymous” brand, alongside text in Bengali. It reads: “A school building will collapse leaving lots of kids Ilveless. We see a terrible disaster fast coming, This will be as a result of poor maintenance on the building. We shall do everything in our power to avert this terrible catastrophe we’ve seen coming.” The page then declares, it warned about this incident earlier—a dramatic flourish implying foreknowledge. Since then, many Bangladeshi activists’ follow-up comments called it a “fake scam page” and noted the building didn’t collapse due to an architectural error but a plane crash, urging people not to panic.
The page’s track record is shaky. Created on March 14, 2023, as “Anonymous” and rebranded to “Anonymous Main Page” on March 8, 2025, it’s run from Nigeria (with a fake U.S. location tag) and sports a Meta subscription badge—hardly the hallmark of a legit hacktivist group. A Bengali debunking post calls it “a total fake and scam page,” noting its warning of a school collapse due to neglect mentioned no country, plane, or bomb—making the recent claims a stretch at best.
“A masked figure with a crystal ball? Sounds like a Halloween trick, not a tech triumph.”
The timing is eerie. On July 21, 2025, a training plane of Bangladesh Air Force crashed into a building of Milestone College in Uttara, Dhaka, killing hundreds of students and teachers. Anonymous Main Page now claims this crash validates its earlier “warning,” posted earlier, though no specific date or link to that post is provided.
Digging Into the Past
So, did Anonymous Main Page really predict this disaster? We scoured its page history and found no trace of a specific warning about a plane crash at Milestone College—or any school in Bangladesh—before the incident took place. The earliest relevant post vaguely mentions “a building collapse” without naming a country, school, or cause like a plane crash. It’s a broad, ominous statement, the kind you could slap onto any disaster after the fact. No mention of aviation, Dhaka, or Milestone College appears in that post or any other prior to the crash.
This lack of specificity is a red flag. True predictions, even from hacktivist groups, tend to include details—dates, locations, or events—to lend credibility. The Bangladeshi cyber teams, tasked with monitoring online threats, investigated and found no relation with the claim and the incident. Instead, they labeled the claim a “false narrative” designed to exploit the crash’s emotional impact.
The Coincidence Conundrum
Let’s be fair—sometimes coincidences happen. The post’s mention of a building collapse aligns with the plane crash’s aftermath, where a structure was damaged. But that’s where the similarity ends. The Anonymous post’s focus on “architectural error” doesn’t match the aviation mishap. It’s like claiming a weather forecast for rain predicted a flood—close, but no cigar. Even to add to the mystery, the page claimed that bangladesh is on the verge of having a bombing attack in Dhaka. The bomb threat, posted after the crash, is a clear pivot—exploiting the tragedy to sound prophetic.
Cyber analyst Abdullah Al Jaber’s point hits the mark: the page’s narrative shifted after the crash. Originally, it warned of a collapse due to design flaws; now, it’s spinning the plane crash as proof. This pivot smells like a desperate grab for relevance, not a fulfilled prophecy. Social media users have echoed this, with posts calling it “opportunistic nonsense” and pointing to the page’s history of vague, alarmist content.
Who’s Behind the Mask?
Anonymous Main Page isn’t the shadowy collective it pretends to be. The “Anonymous” moniker, borrowed from the global hacktivist movement, is a popular disguise for scam pages. The Bangladesh cyber team traced the page’s IP to a betting site operation, likely using fearmongering to drive traffic or scam users. Past posts, like warnings about “global cyberattacks” with no follow-through, suggest a pattern of hype over substance.
The Real Story of the Crash
On July 21, 2025, tragedy struck when a Bangladesh Air Force FT-7BGI training jet crashed into the Milestone College campus in Uttara, Dhaka, around 1:06 PM local time. The aircraft, piloted by Flight Lieutenant Mohammed Toukir Islam, took off from BAF Base Bir Uttom AK Khandker but encountered a technical malfunction shortly after. Despite the pilot’s efforts to divert it from populated areas, it slammed into a two-story building, igniting a massive fire. The crash killed at least 20 people, including the pilot and mostly children, with over 170 injured, many with severe burns. Rescue efforts by the army, fire service, and police saved numerous students, but the scene was chaotic, with classrooms engulfed in flames and emergency teams rushing victims to hospitals like the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery. The government declared a day of mourning, and an investigation is underway to determine the exact cause.
The Final Verdict
Did Anonymous Main Page predict the Milestone College plane crash? No. Its post was a vague, generic warning about building collapses, with no mention of Bangladesh, Milestone, or planes. The crash on July 21 resulted from pilot error, not architecture, and the page’s post-event spin is a clear grab for attention. The Bangladesh cyber team’s debunking seals it: this is a fake scam page, not a prophetic hacktivist.
We’re just a bunch of curious souls poking at the internet’s dark corners, trying to keep the truth from getting buried. Next time a masked figure claims to see the future, check the fine print—or better yet, the facts.
