A Dutch passenger uploaded a picture on Facebook of downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 before getting on board, The Daily Telegraph reported.

He captioned the image: "If it disappears, this is what it looks like." (see above)

The plane was shot down over Ukraine. All on board perished.

His note was clearly motivated by the disappearance in March of another Malaysian Airlines aircraft, over the Indian Ocean.
