Corrected entry: While at the Smithsonian, Larry notes it's about one hour until sunrise. A few minutes later, everyone going back to New York City piles into Amelia Earhart's airplane and she takes off. When they land, it's still dark in the sky above New York City. If it was an hour before sunrise, the sky would not be so dark and New York City is farther east than Washington, D.C., thus would get the sun a few minutes earlier. Also, modern airplanes barely can make the Washington to New York City trip in barely a hour. That isn't including travel time from the airport to the museum. Larry should have fallen out of the sky when everyone and everything around him turned to dust with the rising sun.

Corrected entry: As Lara and Terry fly out to the meeting point in Hong Kong harbor, they eventually deploy their parachutes. As they land on the ship, you can see the parachutes coming down behind them, but when the camera cuts to a shot from far away, you no longer see the parachutes. What happened to the parachutes?
Correction: You can see them holding the parachutes in their arms in the next shot.

Correction: It's about 200 miles from DC to New York, a small plane with a good tailwind could do it in well under an hour (remember, Larry says it's "about" an hour... he could be off by several minutes or even exagerating a bit to get people moving faster). The plane lands at the museum, there is no travel time from the airport. As for the loss of time because they are flying east, New York is northeast of Washington DC, not due east. They are only going about 120 miles east of their origin. The circumference of the earth at Washington's latitude is just over 19,000 miles; if they flew 120 miles east they would only lose 9 minutes of darkness.
