Dr Wilson

Corrected entry: When Jack is talking about the Gulf Stream, the animation shows it flowing from Europe to the Gulf of Mexico. It actually goes in the opposite direction, that's why Europe is warm. (00:06:45)

Dr Wilson

Correction: Jack was actually referring to the North Atlantic Current which is different than the Gulf Stream. The NAC moves in a counterclockwise pattern between Ireland and Labrador.

Corrected entry: In L.A., when the janitor removes his headphones after the tornado, his shadows do it a little bit before him.

Dr Wilson

Correction: The shadow is properly synchronized, but the light on the man is from below so it makes his hands look like they're higher than they actually are. Therefore it looks like his shadow hands reach his ears before his real hands do, but it's an illusion.

Phoenix

Corrected entry: The policemen breaks the window of the taxi to help the French woman and her son, but when Laura returns to take the purse, the window is intact.

Dr Wilson

Correction: The policeman actually broke the windshield. Laura reaches in through the rear window.

Correction: The way the camera pans in, it gives the impression that it is travelling from east to west even though when all the scenes show them looking from inside the station the motion indicates it is correctly travelling west to east.

Corrected entry: Somebody, I think the US president, says that a part of Florida has been flooded but when we get a view from space at the end of the film, Florida is intact.

Dr Wilson

Correction: The only time that Florida is mentioned is when Jack is asked where people should evacuate to. He replies saying "parts of Florida that have not flooded"

Correction: Most likely there was some unsubstantiated information where there may have been some flooding in Florida but the waters receded quickly and there wasn't the devastation that occurred further north.
