Continuity: The amount of blood on First Officer Ray's shirt, when he comes out of the cargo hold, keeps changing between shots.
Factual errors: During the discussion at the Pentagon, there is talk of a new strain of "malaria virus." Malaria is caused by Plasmodium, a protozoan parasite, not a virus.
Factual errors: The fighter plane that is dispatched to shoot down the airplane is an F-14 Tomcat. It was retired from the U.S. Navy fleet on 22 September 2006, having been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. As of 2007, it remains in service only with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.
Errors in geography: When the Pentagon is shown, the captioning says that it is in Washington, DC, but the Pentagon is actually in Arlington, Virginia.
