Nutty Dutchman, I would have made the same joke. I like gallows humor.

BTW, if you got any Malaysian Air stock in your portfolio, you might want to call your broker and lighten your position a bit.

The comment is believed to have been a reference to Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 which disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March.

After seeing the photo friends initially went along with the joke and wished him a good trip, but their messages quickly turned frantic when news of the crash emerged.

Posting underneath the picture they asked whether his flight was the one that had gone down and said that they were praying that it wasn’t true.

His cousin later posted the flight number underneath the picture and wrote: 'Turns out our cousin Cor was on this plane.’

Friends and family members began to leave touching tributes to the Dutch traveller, with one posting ‘rest in peace’.

Their posts also suggested that he was on board the plane with his girlfriend Neeltje Tol.

One said: ‘Rest in peace Cor and Neel this is surreal, with sympathy for family and friends.’
