Other mistake: After Michaela and Astrid saved Coby Webber's son, you can see a NYPD car which is assigned to the 29th precinct. First of all there is no 29th precinct, and if there was a 29th precinct, it would be located in Manhattan, since all precincts in Manhattan are numbered in the 1 to 34 range. Also, it is shown that the house is on the countryside, so it is out of the NYPD jurisdiction.
Other mistake: They assemble nine of Cal's drawings into one. But the final arrangement has a white outer border. Clearly a poster that was cut into nine pieces, not nine drawings.
Other mistake: Micaela and her partner are chasing an RV. A man from the RV throws a propane tank in her path. You can tell from the sound and how it bounces that it is empty. When the car hits it, the tank explodes, and she swerves the car into the brush and the airbags deploy. Later, as she is driving on the same road she gets a call that the RV has been spotted. Her car shows no damage. (00:17:44 - 00:29:10)
Answer: Only superficially. Manifest doesn't even begin with a plane crash, but rather a plane disappearing for 5 years with the assumption that it crashed, which turns out not to be true.

In the particulars it seems different, but the overall plot is the same. A seemingly random group on an airplane experience a weird event and spend years trying to figure out what happened. Let's hope the reveal in the final episode is not as disappointing as "LOST" - they're actually all dead.
