An Australian family has been hit by both Malaysia Airlines tragedies, having now lost four members in flight MH370's disappearance and flight MH17's shooting down over Ukraine.


Kaylene Mann's brother Rod Burrows and sister-in-law Mary Burrows were on board Flight 370 when it vanished in March.

And on Friday, Mann found out that her stepdaughter, Maree Rizk, was killed along with 298 others on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Rizk and her husband Albert were travelling home from a holiday in Europe when the plane was shot down.

"It's just brought everyone, everything back," said Greg Burrows, brother to Kaylene and Rodney. "It's just ... ripped our guts again."

He said his family was struggling to understand how they could be struck by such horrible luck on two separate occasions with the same airline.

"She just lost a brother and now a stepdaughter, so..." he said of his sister, his voice trailing off.

Rizk and her husband Albert, of Melbourne, were returning home from a four-week holiday in Europe, said Phil Lithgow, president of the Sunbury Football Club, with which the family was heavily involved. Albert, a real estate agent, was a member of the club's committee, Maree was a volunteer in the canteen and their son, James, plays on the club's
"They were very lovely people," Lithgow said. "You wouldn't hear a bad word about them - very generous with their time in the community, very community-minded, and just really very entertaining people to be with."

Clearly this sucks but I gotta say, if a family member or even a friend disappeared on a particular airlines flight, I would not fly said airlines a couple of months later.

The Malaysians may not have as many airline choices as we do.

Perhaps, but I'm guessing a least one other that flies from Europe. Nevertheless, they may have to figure out something different soon. There are obvious concerns in regards to the future of Malaysian Airlines.
