Revealing mistake: When Elliot and Maggie first arrive in Boston and Elliot begins reporting on the 31 injured patients, in several shots Maggie is supposedly on the phone with Jim back in New York. In each shot if you look closely you can see her iPhone's screen is lit up and is on the home screen, meaning she isn't actually on the phone.

Factual error: Most of what Will says about the Challenger's O-rings is wrong. First of all, he says they are meant to keep hydrogen from leaking out of the SRB. SRB stands for Solid Rocket Booster, meaning they use solid fuel, not hydrogen. The hydrogen was in the external fuel tank. Second, the O-rings were tested for cold, and NASA engineers recommended against launching that day, with one of them even refusing to sign off on the paperwork if the launch was to go forward. NASA overruled them and went ahead with the launch anyway, with all the disastrous consequences that ensued.
Will McAvoy: You set me up with a crazy woman who can shoot me. Fatal attraction with a concealed carry permit.
Trivia: Jeff Daniels won his Leading Actor Emmy Award for season two the night before he began filming Dumb and Dumber To.
