Parents of MH17 passenger Fatima Dyczynski say their daughter is not dead, call for space scientists to probe crash

GEORGE and Angela Dyczynski saw much at the MH17 crash site but nothing that diminished their belief their daughter, Fatima, somehow survived. The Perth-based parents arrived back in the Netherlands on Tuesday after a five-day trip during which they reached the crash site in rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine.
             There was no suggestion the couple’s brilliant 25-year-old daughter might not be able to make it to Toronto in late September. Indeed, Ms Dyczynski later threatened to sue anyone who suggested  without evidence that Fatima was dead.
The professionals want Fatima’s colleagues from the space science community to become involved in the crash investigation. They want the best of the best on the case.
The fact the Dyczynskis do is down to a combination of faith and science.
“There is a small possibility that something still survived,” Fatima’s father said.
“The people of Donetsk were first at the crash site and if somebody survived maybe they have taken them.” The couple plan to stay in Amsterdam for two or three days and then likely head home to Australia.
They’ve received support from back home and from Foreign Minister Julie Bishop who wrote to them after the crash.
In return, the Dyczynskis left Ms Bishop, who’s currently in Kiev, one of four sunflowers they took from the crash site.
The remaining three flowers are destined for the Netherland’s Princess Beatrix and Fatima’s two grandmothers.
