Malaysia plane crash: British family switched flight

Barry and Izzy Sim and their baby were planning to fly on the Malaysia Airlines plane that crashed in eastern Ukraine, but changed their flight due to a lack of seats.

Speaking at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Izzy said "we were supposed to be on that flight".

The plane, carrying 298 people, crashed in rebel-held territory near the Russian border.
