@airindia @krtn9937 What is the problem? Passengers are not being updated as to the reason for delay. There are elderly passengers on the flight. Why not deplane? Are they being provided water? Food? 4 hours on a grounded plane is unacceptable!

@jaykreps LOL, nice catch

@kellabyte I'm seeing more custom off-heap memory managing in the JVM space. Slab allocators, sun.misc.Unsafe usage, non-idiomatic code ...
