Surely by now, you are all up to date on the heartbreaking stories of Flight MH370 and Flight MH17. Both Malaysian Airlines flights have ended in tragedy and left families distraught and entire countries in need of answers.

Flight MH370 disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March and its location is still unknown. Flight MH17 was likely shot down over eastern Ukraine last week with hundreds of casualties.

Few of us can imagine something this horrible happening to someone we knew, let alone to ourselves. However, a Dutch cyclist has reportedly come awfully close. Twice.
