The Livelong Day - S5-E7

Factual error: When the stolen freight train is braking, the air pipe becomes disconnected. This should trigger the brakes on the train, but the train keeps going with no brakes. When the train is being slowed with no brakes working, why are there sparks coming from all wheels on the train? (00:32:00 - 00:38:00)

Carrier - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: In the forensics lab Carol Wilson is saying to others that the rat caught on the ship is healthy. In the ensuing conversation the respirators they are wearing are so ill fitting as to be pointless - Carol's mask does not even touch her nose. (00:26:00 - 00:27:00)

NCIS: New Orleans (2014)

Carrier - S1-E2

Factual error: At beginning of the episode during the evening a marine gets hit by a taxi. Titles. Pride arrives to look at the scene with the M.E. present and it is during the middle of the day, going by the shadows of the onlookers. Sure they would not leave a dead marine lying in the street for that long? (00:01:00 - 00:04:00)
