Corrected entry: Owen is dosed with Carfentanil in an amount intended for dinosaurs. At 10,000 times the potency of Morphine, that amount of the drug would have killed him. It's so potent, the lethal dosage for humans is measured in micrograms.

Correction: The amount used was calibrated for a smaller dinosaur like Blue. Also, Zia pulled the dart out of Owen before it was fully injected into his body (the liquid can still be seen in the vial) so he did not get the entire dose, which might have been enough to kill him.

Correction: The intent was to take Blue alive, so she would not have been given a lethal dose, only enough for sedation. It would not have killed Owen.

raywest

Correction: The quantity needed to anaesthetise the dinosaurs would depend on their size, and the users would have been trained to measure out the necessary quantities. It is likely they would have also adjusted it for Owen so that he was not killed.

Not sure what the amount needed for the dinosaurs has to do with Owen. Any amount that would bring down a dinosaur would certainly kill a human.

I suspect that Lockwood never intended for Owen, Claire, and the others to survive once they'd outlived their usefulness, so it's doubtful there was any concern about whether or not the dosage was lethal to humans.

Corrected entry: Owen would have been killed while sedation wore off when lava was creeping towards him. A person would die from the heat metres away let alone a metre like when he was by the log. (00:37:30 - 00:38:00)

Correction: Not necessarily. It all depends what type of rock/lava it is. Even if you touch lava, you would get a nasty burn but you wouldn't die unless you were engulfed by it. The true mistake here is that with the amount of time he spent so close to the flow, he would have at least had first degree burns and redness all over.
