Messages of hope have started flowing on Twitter and Facebook.

A post from the Instagram handle (@annerafdzi) uploaded a few hours after the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines MH Flight 17 shows a spreadsheet with the manifest of the plane that was heading to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The Malaysian airliner was carrying 280 passengers and 15 crew, who are named in the list below.

Angeline Premila, the last name on the flight crew manifest, is just in her midtwenties, reported The Star Online.

Our hearts went out to the Klang-born crew member's family, friends and colleagues who posted messages of hope on her Facebook account.

Mr Evert van Zijtveld is among others who lost loved ones when the Boeing 777 travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was hit by what prosecutors say was a Russian-supplied missile.
