There was a personal plea from a Perth mother to the Prime Minister to bring her daughter home from the wreckage of MH17.

THE distraught parents of MH17 victim Fatima Dyczynski say their daughter is still alive and have embarked on a desperate mission to Donetsk in the Ukraine to find her.

“We still think she is alive so today we fly to Donetsk and we find her,’’ Dr Dyczynski said after arriving at Schiphol Airport, in Amsterdam, the scene of his daughter’s last contact with them, wearing T-shirts emblazoned with their daughter’s picture and the words ‘Fatima We Love You’.

Mrs Dyczynski said: “we want to go this night’’.

The Dyczynski couple only stayed five hours in Amsterdam before boarding their flight to Kiev in what they know will be a difficult trek to the crash site.

But the immense stress of the past few days has understandably begun to take its toll on the emotional health of the couple.

After warmly embracing her daughter’s close friend Ces de la Cruz – the lady who had placed a touching memorial to Fatima, remembering her with a coffee cup - Mrs Dyczynski abruptly turned to her and warned with pointed finger “do not talk to the media or anyone or you will be killed from our family. I do not want to see your name anywhere, understand’’ - before grasping her arm and insisting she accompany them into the departure lounge.

She had earlier disputed with the Dutch officials assisting the family, including a chaplain and KLM liaison officers but they were unable to persuade her to reconsider undertaking such a gruelling journey.

The family from Perth has been unable to accept the tragedy that their only child, a space scientist, was on the flight until they have incontrovertible proof.

Dr Dyczynski said there may have been a remote possibility that she could have been catapulted into the sky, still strapped to her seat and if it had remained intact, may have cushioned the impact of hitting the ground.

He believes the extremely cold temperatures at such altitude of 33,000 feet could have caused a hibernation of the brain which countered the heat of the explosion.

One of Fatima’s friends said she was supposed to be on a different flight and was unsure why she changed.

The Dutch-based friends of Fatima have been helping the family pinpoint her last movements, checking credit cards and the location of her car.

Dr and Mrs Dyczynski came to Amsterdam to provide further medical and DNA samples for the forensic team to help identify remains.

Dr Dyczynski said: ‘’We have a connecting flight to Donetsk and to the site where the aircraft attack was. We believe she’s alive. Did you see the CNN report about the mobile phones? So we go,’’ he said.

When asked if government officials were taking them he said, “no, we go on our own but we have a lot of support of people from the media, the government.”

Malaysia Airlines has backed away from flying any bereaved family members to the crash site because of extreme safety concerns. Several days after the July 17 disaster, airline officials told News Corp only four family members had expressed any interest in tang up the airlines initial offer to fly any next of kin to the area.

The Dyczynski’s were being accommodated in the special family hotel in Amsterdam organised by the airline during their Dutch stay over and it is understood they have had to pay and organise their own flights to the Ukraine because officially it is an unsafe destination.

But their grieving anger spilled over to the Dutch police who insisted they provide further medical information about their daughter before being allowed to visit the nearby makeshift memorial at the Schiphol Airport. The police also refused to allow them to make a brief statement.

Mrs Dyczynski said to the police: “You didn’t double check what we want, you ask us, we have a program and you have also a program and you cooperate with us.’’

When a police officer told Mrs Dyczynski she could see the memorial later, she said:” I am the mum of Fatima and I represent a well known scientist, a beautiful girl and represent a very very special person. You are third, Fatima first, then me and then you.’’

About 15 minutes later the family visited the memorial but did not make a statement.
