Then he vanished from view. Flight MH17 took off around 12:15 p.m. on what should have been an 11 hour and 45 minute flight. It lasted two hours. She grapples now with the what-ifs, the astronomical odds, the realisation that the world she knew has grown alien in a blink. She thinks about how her baby boy seemed to sense that his time on earth was running short. She imagines the futures that will never be: Miguels dream of becoming a go-kart race driver, gone. How could he have known? How could she have known? I should have listened to him, she says softly. I should have listened to him. - Miguel Panduwinata, 11, was on Flight MH17 on his way to Bali to meet his grandmother, and was feeling troubled before leaving his mother Samira Calehr at Amsterdam airport, as he feared he might never see his mother again.
