Other mistake: When the movie flashes back to the plane taking off from LaGuardia, the attitude indicator (artificial horizon) shows level flight. After the landing gear is raised, it correctly shows the plane in a climb.

Mistakes

Factual error: Scenes of the CGI Airbus A320 do not show the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed. When the A320 loses power in both engines, the RAT automatically deploys to provide minimal electrical power to the plane. (01:20:05)

Trivia

Trivia: During the several scenes where the pilots are communicating with Air Traffic Control, they are always addressed as flight 1549. During the real incident, however, both the pilots and controllers misspoke, labeling the flight number as both 1529 and 1539. This was likely due to the intensely stressful situation.
