writing: "If it should disappear, this is what it looks like."
Cor Pan, who appeared to be
going on a beach holiday to Malaysia, posted the photo as a joking
reference to another Malaysia Airlines flight that mysteriously
disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March.
A
few hours later his flight too would disappear from radar screens,
taking him and the other 297 people on board the Amsterdam to Kuala
Lumpur flight to their deaths in eastern Ukraine.
Although
there has been no confirmation that Cor, from Volendam, nine miles (15
kilometres) north of Amsterdam, was on board, his photo of the aircraft
on the tarmac is tagged "near Schipol airport" and appears to have been
taken from the gate as passengers waited to board.
The
comments by his friends on Facebook, however, seem to indicate that he
was on board the flight. Late on Thursday his picture had been shared
more than 10,000 times on the social media site.
"This can't be true!" said Alicia de Boer.
Petra Bleeker posted a picture
of Cor and his girlfriend Neeltje Tol on which she superimposed a white
rose, signifying death. It was unclear whether Tol was also on the
flight.
"Such a beautiful couple who have been taken from life. I wish you the best wherever you are," said Peter Bootsman.
Cor had earlier post pictures of idyllic tropical beaches on his Facebook page, saying: "A few more days to wait yet..."
