One Passenger's Unfortunate Facebook Joke About Malysian Airlines Before Boarding it Becomes His Last!

Passenger who joked on Facebook before boarding jet now feared dead

A Dutch man posted a picture of what is believed to be flight MH17 joking "if we disappear, this is what the plane looks like"

This is believed to be the tragic final Facebook post of a passenger on board the Malaysia Airlines flight shot down in the Ukraine.
A Dutch man posted a picture of what is believed to be flight MH17 and a caption which roughly translates as "if the plane disappears, this is what it looks like".

It is believe to be a joke in reference to Malaysia Airlines MH370 which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.
Initially, friends responded with messages laughing at the 'joke'.

"Happy holidays! No crazy things though that's the gods requests!" wrote one.

But seven hours later, news broke that a Malaysia Airlines plane travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur has been shot down
in Eastern Ukraine.
Friends began posting asking if he could have been on this plane.

The Ukrainian Defence Ministry said the plane was brought down on Wednesday night near Amvrosiyivka, about about 9 miles from the border with Russia, by rockets which hit it in the tail as it wheeled away from the border.

"It is likely that this was carried out by air-to-air rockets from the Russian airforce which were patrolling the border in a pair," the ministry said in a statement on its website.
