Corrected entry: Watch as the little boy is suppose to be unscrewing the screw with the cross necklace when they are stuck in the vent. You can see that it is not the hand of a child but of an adult.

Correction: Wrong movie. This happens in the 2006 version of the film, not the made-for-TV version.

Corrected entry: The boat is struck in the middle of the ocean by a giant tidal wave. However, these waves do not appear in the middle of the ocean, it would not break but simply create a 'bump' that the boat would just go over. waves only break at coasts.

Correction: Wrong movie. This made-for-TV movie does not have a tidal wave. Terrorists blow a hole in the hull, causing the ship to capsize.

Factual error: The DC shore based radio operator mistakenly tells the last known coordinates of SS Poseidon as 28° East longitude and 80° from Greenwich. That is nonsense because both mean longitude. Even though it can be assumed that what she really mean is Latitude: 28 degrees South and Longitude: 80° East from Greenwich, that is still not enough to specify the ship's position as the margin of error is about 400km.
