Schwerk 7,453 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The bodies arriving on a plane makes the whole ceremony even more emotional. I hope people can say goodbye to their loved ones soon.

MonsterMum 2,532 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) You could hear the sound of crying families in the background when they carried the first coffin out. Heartbreaking :emo: Edited July 23, 2014 by MonsterMum Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,776 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Probably not entirely relevant but I think it's a great sign of consolidation that the Dutch Kind and Queen will be present for the arrival of the bodies. I'm not sure if this is the norm or not around the world. Other than that, my thoughts are still with the families who lost loved ones and I hope that those bodies still not found will be done so to be reunited with their families It's kinda normal and expected tbh :p Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMum 2,532 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I wonder if they all got the same coffin. I mean also the children. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMum 2,532 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) So many people next to the road while the hearses with the bodies pass. So many Dutch people paying their respect.

Michael 533 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 By KRISTEN GELINEAU The Associated Press In a bedroom in a townhouse near Amsterdam, Miguel Panduwinata reached out for his mother. “Mama, may I hug you?†Samira Calehr wrapped her arms around her 11-year-old son, who’d been oddly agitated for days, peppering her with questions about death, about his soul, about God. The next morning, she would drop Miguel and his big brother Shaka at the airport so they could catch Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, the first leg of their journey to Bali to visit their grandmother. Her normally cheerful, well-travelled boy should have been excited. His silver suitcase sat in the living room, ready to go. Jetskiing and surfing in paradise awaited. But something was off. A day earlier, while playing soccer, Miguel had burst out: “How would you choose to die? What would happen to my body if I was buried? Would I not feel anything because our souls go back to God?†And now, the night before his big trip, Miguel refused to release his mother from his grasp. He’s just going to miss me, Calehr told herself. So she stretched out beside him and held him all night. It was 11 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16. Miguel, Shaka and the 296 other people aboard Flight 17 had around 15 hours left to live. The next morning, Samira Calehr and her friend Aan ushered her sons onto the train to the airport. They were joking and laughing. Shaka, 19, had just finished his first year of college, where he was studying textile engineering, and promised to keep an eye on Miguel. Their other brother, Mika, 16, hadn’t been able to get a seat on Flight 17 and would travel to Bali the next day. At the check-in counter, Calehr fussed over her boys’ luggage. Shaka, meanwhile, realized he’d forgotten to pack socks. Calehr promised to buy him some and send them along with Mika. Finally, they were outside customs. The boys hugged Calehr goodbye and walked toward passport control. Suddenly, Miguel whirled around and ran back, throwing his arms around his mother. “Mama, I’m going to miss you,†he said. “What will happen if the airplane crashes?†What was this all about? she wondered. “Don’t say that,†she said, squeezing him. “Everything will be OK.†Shaka tried to reassure them both. “I will take care of him,†he said to his mom. “He’s my baby.†She watched the two boys walk away. But Miguel kept looking back at his mother. His big brown eyes looked sad. Then he vanished from view. Flight 17 took off around 12:15 p.m. on what should have been an 11 hour and 45 minute flight. It lasted two hours. Calehr had just finished buying Shaka’s socks when her phone rang. It was her friend Aan. “Where are you?†he screamed. “The plane crashed!†She made it home just in time to faint. She grapples now with the what-ifs, the astronomical odds, the realization that the world she knew has grown alien in a blink. She thinks about how her baby boy seemed to sense that his time on earth was running short. She imagines the futures that will never be: Shaka’s dream of becoming a textile engineer, gone. Miguel’s dream of becoming a go-kart race driver, gone. How could he have known? How could she have known? “I should have listened to him,†she says softly. “I should have listened to him.†http://www.ajc.com/news/news/haunting-premonition-what-will-happen-if-airplane-/ngmNp/?__federated=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 99,113 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Okay, don't call me heartless or anything, but every flight has that person that thinks the plane is going to crash. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
