Factual error: After the spaceship collides with another craft in orbit, it crashes through multiple buildings before coming to a stop embedded in a large structure. Despite this violent descent and impact, scenes inside the wreck show delicate objects, like equipment, containers, and tools, still neatly resting on tables and shelves instead of being thrown around by the crash. (00:48:55)
Suggested correction: It is a spaceship built and controlled by advanced future technology; there could be several systems on that ship preventing items from being thrown about. A popular technology in sci-fi is inertia dampers or null fields that can hold items in place.
While "inertial dampeners" exist in other sci-fi, Alien: Earth never establishes such tech. The Alien series is known for grounded, industrial realism; objects always scatter in crashes or turbulence. Given the ship's massive impact through buildings, items staying neatly on tables isn't consistent with the tone or physics of the series.
1) The ships have artificial gravity and faster-than-light drives. This means that they are able to manipulate Newtonian physics. 2) Doesn't the fact that everything isn't smashed establish that they have some kind of "inertial dampers"?

Factual error: The state of the crashed ship and destroyed building makes it clear the so-called "Search and Rescue" team has no place here. Armed with rifles, military gear, and helmets, they're not equipped to save lives. Where are the firefighters with axes, EMTs with jaws of life, safety harnesses, or police to secure the scene? This operation looks more like a combat deployment than a genuine rescue effort. (00:03:30)
