Continuity mistake: When Sandra calls Will about the storms, she says, "Hey, take a look at this," and then her camera feed becomes smaller to show him the storm. Will's position doesn't change, but in that moment, there is a jump cut with Sandra, her arms being extended to then down. A jump cut in a supposedly live call. (00:02:45)

Continuity mistake: While Will is looking at the new storm clouds on Sandra's feed, he gets a message from the DHS director. On this message, it is displayed as "DHS Dir. Briggs"; then when he pulls it up, suddenly the title now reads as "DHS Director Briggs", with Director no longer abbreviated to "Dir.". (00:03:15)

Factual error: Right towards the start, Will opens up the camera feed around several locations in Washington DC and in the surrounding areas. Six camera feeds pop up, but the information on them is all lazy copy-paste. They all say Location: Washington DC. Yet the first camera shows the Pentagon, which is in Arlington VA, not Washington DC. Then the sixth camera shows the NSA Headquarters, which is in Fort Meade, Maryland, not DC. Also, all six cameras have the same IP address. Not possible with how it's set up.

Trivia: When Director Briggs first sends Will a message, Will gets an alert for a new YouTube upload from Disruptor. If you put the YouTube link shown on screen into your browser, it leads to an unlisted video that is nothing but a black screen for a minute and five seconds. (00:03:25)
