Plot hole: After blowing up the gate, the President turns on the TV news in the car...for no reason, other than for them to conveniently get the information that Channing Tatum's daughter is about to be executed, distracting him.
White House Down (2013)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Starring: Channing Tatum, James Woods, Jamie Foxx, Richard Jenkins, Maggie Gyllenhaal
Factual error: The attacking helicopters get a "missile lock" warning on two occasions from the Javelins, despite Javelins being infra-red guided, meaning there's no active signal for the helicopters to detect.
Walker: You just killed the Secretary of Defense.
Stenz: Well, he wasn't doing a very good job.
More trivia for White House Down
Question: Is it actually even remotely possible that the president would just happen to wander through while a tour is taking place?
Answer: President Trump did this on several occasions. Granted he was flanked by secret service the whole time while doing it, but yes it's possible.
Chosen answer: These days it would be highly unlikely due to stringent security measures. However, I knew someone who saw President Kennedy in the hallway while they were on a White House tour.
