Visible crew/equipment: During the scene after the soldier falls out of the helicopter, an intense gun battle breaks out. As the troops rally to evacuate the injured man, another soldier lays down some suppressing fire. Look in the lower left corner of the screen. Two crew members, one wearing eye protection and one wearing ear protection, are visible.
Factual error: After the second Black Hawk helicopter (Super 6-4) gets shot down, all of the crew members aside from the pilot appear to have been killed in the crash. In reality, all of the men survived the crash. They were later killed by the Somali mob, except for pilot Mike Durant who was taken prisoner.
Suggested correction: Black Hawk Down is frequently regarded by many, including real participants of the battle, as a dramatization of what actually happened. Therefore some details will not match up to real events. This is simply one of those instances.
Suggested correction: Mike Durant in his book "In the Company of Heroes" states that this did not happen.
Visible crew/equipment: When Grimes takes out the technical, he dives to the ground when an RPG explodes near him. As he hits the ground, a camera covered by a blue and grey blanket can be seen to his left.
Revealing mistake: When Josh Hartnett is talking to his friend's body near the end after his friend was killed in action, he touches his friend's chest. You can see the actor jump because he wasn't expecting Josh to touch him or wasn't prepared for it, his eyes even twitch and almost open.
Visible crew/equipment: The rocket launcher hits the transport truck and blows the Ranger out with his legs gone. When the convoy begins to stop you will see the Humvee with the gunner and beside him is the cameraman.
