Factual error: Every centrifuge ever made comes with a locking system that prevents the lid being opened while the centrifuge is in motion, so even if someone was as stupid as the lab assistant who put his hand in a spinning centrifuge, they would not be able to.
Mrs. Pananides: I have a friend in the Coast Guard, all I have to do is call.
Sam Daniels: How close a friend?
Mrs. Pananides: Closer than his wife would like.
Trivia: Harrison Ford was the first choice for the role of Sam Daniels.
Question: Why did General Donald McClintock want to keep the virus a secret and not let anyone know of its existence?
Answer: Is it because if anyone knew about it will spread information across the globe and will likely lead to his enemies and will no longer be a secret and his plans will be ruined?
Answer: He wanted to eventually use it as a biological weapon.
