   The holding tanks for water to flush toilets and for holding human waste   
   can only handle so much before they can't.  AC requires at least one   
   running jet engine to provide electrical power on some aircraft.  I   
   would imagine passengers who just flew in from America, Hong Kong or   
   Cape Town (for example) would be highly stressed being forced to remain   
   in their seats for long hours on the ground, especially those without   
   window seats.  According to reports, they would be without cell phone   
   service or internet access.  Even movies might be unavailable.
