Nice video,

But KL's reputation for connecting baggage at their hub is, frankly, not the best.

{whisper} It's Schiphol {/whisper}

The airport is located in the NE corner of the former Haarlemmermeer (a lake), and so with SW storms, a frequent occurence in the Netherlands, ships in trouble would be blown to the NE corner, to encounter further trouble by the shore. Hence "Ship(s) hell".
Edited to add: Although "hol" is not hell, it is an old Dutch word for grave.
