Re: Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has crashed into Indian O
Silly me, right until now I somehow thought the signals emitted by the box were radio signals, only now do I realize it's an acoustic signal...

Oh no, the US labour unions will have them arrested for that. Or, more likely, make them disappear.

Re: Schiphol airport parking
Try searching for schiphol parkeren. There are plenty of companies offering cheap parking in the area and free shuttle rides to/from the terminal, or even valet service. There are also a number of pages which compare the different operators and/or find available spots/periods.

Re: Strange KEF landing of a LOT Boeing 787
It would appear the transponder had failed in the worst possible way, by sending out seemingly acceptable yet wrong data.
