Poseidon

Continuity mistake: During the capsizing in the disco, a light rigging falls and knocks some people over. There is a woman in a black top and pink skirt - she falls over twice between the two shots.

Continuity mistake: When the survivors are climbing out through the propeller tube, Dylan is the first one out with the others following him. But after everyone is out he is the last out to climb out.

Suggested correction: It's very obvious that Dylan is not getting out, but merely looks inside the hole, and is then standing up, so he was there all the time after he got out first, and then just looked into the hole, after everyone got in the tube, then gets up.

Continuity mistake: During the capsize, when the woman falls from above the elevator to her death, she is flipping a different way when she impacts the roof from when she first started falling.

Factual error: When performing CPR on Elena, Robert doesn't tilt her head back. As a former firefighter, he would know one of the first steps of CPR is to tilt the victim's head back to clear the airway. His rhythm is also way off.

Suggested correction: Tilting the head back to clear the airway isn't practised any more, due to exacerbating possible neck/spinal injuries. Instead, one would do a chin lift to clear the airway. But alas, he didn't do that either.

Paramedic here. The head tilt-chin lift is absolutely still practised today and is definitely our go to manoeuvre for CPR. You're thinking of the jaw thrust manoeuvre where we do it when we suspect spinal injury, which Elena did not have.

Former Volunteer First Responder and Ambulance driver part-time but also volunteer here. It actually depends on the SOP of the company in which you serve. Liability purpose has us practising caution in otherwise duty-to-act scenarios. While you are always to remain either Red Cross or American Heart certified in CPR, ALS guidelines and SOPs still govern the practice in which you are performing and can be effected by the decisions of your local Medical Director, but I digress.
