Other mistake: When the D.A.'s house exploded, almost all the debris landed in the front yard; few pieces landed in neighbors' yards. The aerial view on the live news showed a few small pieces of debris on one neighbor's otherwise clean roof, despite the houses being very close. The car that was in the DA's driveway was not visible and there wasn't enough debris on that side of the house to have covered it. The neighbor's boat was not there. Gas explosions typically "floor" the entire house. (00:03:41 - 00:04:55)

Other mistake: After Allison set Jack on fire, his suit jacket was burning for at least several seconds. He was suddenly no longer on fire, there was no smoldering or floor damage, and he was able to immediately start shooting at her. His clothes did not look charred and even his hair was not singed. (Later, the side of his face was burned). (00:52:21 - 00:52:52)

Other mistake: At the school, a police officer told Owen, "Let's go" (move his vehicle). Owen tells Connor "We're playing hooky", makes a sharp turn, speeds past three school buses parked along the road, and passes a police office and school crossing guard (who didn't seem to notice). School zones have 15 MPH limits and police take speeding in these areas very seriously. A motorists violating in a school zone like Owen did would be pursued and cited with multiple offenses.

Stupidity: During the lightning storm, Hannah and Connor did not stop running through the open field when they reached the low point (dip). Hannah kept telling Connor to run, stop, and crouch even when they were headed uphill. It would have been safer to crouch at the lowest point in the field. Connor fell a couple times and Hannah also fell (or got struck) - both ending up doing one of the worst things - lying down on the ground instead of minimizing contact. (00:53:39)

Stupidity: When the thunder/lightning starts, Hannah correctly tells Connor "We gotta get downhill." Then she tells him to run and stop, plus shows him to crouch down. Granted, they needed to act fast, but her instructions were poor for someone supposed to be trained in safety. Crouching should not entail placing one leg from the knee down onto the ground - only the balls of the feet should touch the ground and the heels should be together. She didn't tell him NOT to lie down, but he was when he fell. (00:53:14)

Continuity mistake: Hannah is wearing a blue jersey when she is outside the tower and when she goes inside to answer the phone. She tells Ryan she will call back on the SAT phone (for personal calls). Hannah is next seen sitting on the edge of a Boulder overlooking the mountains, talking to Ryan. She is now wearing a brown top and tan pants. The same conversation is occurring, but when there is a side view of Hannah, she is suddenly wearing a brown jacket with fur trim and light blue jeans. (00:26:00 - 00:26:53)

Continuity mistake: While Hannah is outside sitting on a boulder and talking on the phone to Ryan, a side view shows her wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans but a back view shows her wearing a brown top and tan pants. The remaining front, back, and side views are consistent (brown jacket and blue jeans). (00:26:53 - 00:27:16)

Factual error: The Channel 5 WNP Newscaster said, "it is now believed he [District Attorney Berdido] and his family were killed..." and running along the bottom of the screen was "4 confirmed dead in Fort Lauderdale gas explosion." This was a LIVE report showing two streams of water onto the house still burning inside. An investigation would barely, if at all, be started at this time and no-one would be "confirmed dead" this early. It would not even be known if anyone was home when the house exploded.
