Plane

Continuity mistake: For the first emergency landing, the co-pilot has his seatbelt on, then it is off a second later, then back on, then off again, then on again.

Continuity mistake: In the cockpit scene at the beginning you see them test their flight controls using a yoke (as used in Boeing aircraft) yet when you see a view looking at the flight instruments it's the layout of an Airbus A320, which uses a side stick operation.

Factual error: After a power outage the captain states that operating on batteries (?) he has 10 minutes of power, followed by an uncontrolled descent. That is ludicrous. Aircraft can glide to a landing with no power or engines. Further, commercial airliners have a Ram Air Turbine that can supply hydraulic as well as electrical power even if the engines are not functioning.
