Translated from Dutch to English, the caption reads: “In case it goes missing, here is what it looks like.”
Over 150 people have since commented on the Facebook post, which surfaced on Reddit. Many offer condolences.
The loss of MH-17 is the second disaster for Malaysia Airlines this year, following the mysterious loss of flight MH-370 in March, which disappeared with 239 passengers and crew on board on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH-17 also still remains a mystery.
Locals on the ground in Ukraine said they heard two loud bangs before seeing flaming wreckage fall from the sky. A U.S. official has confirmed that the plane was shot down by at least one surface-to-air missile. Vice President Joe Biden said: "Not an accident. Blown out of the sky." It remains unclear where or by who the missile was fired.
The dead total 298 people, a number scaled up to account for three infants not on the original flight records.
At least 154 people on the flight were Dutch. In Amsterdam, an audible gasp went up at the news conference Thursday night at Schiphol airport when it was announced that so many of the dead were from the Netherlands.
There were 27 Australians on board, 23 Malaysians, including all 15 crew, and 11 Indonesians. Six passengers from the United Kingdom, four from Germany, four Belgians, three from the Philippines and one Canadian. There are still 47 dead whose nationalities haven't yet been confirmed — some of which may be Americans. A large group of the passengers were heading to Melbourne for a major AIDS conference, reports say.
