Factual error: When the pilots are over the Gulf of Mexico right before the oil rig is destroyed, one of them reports that the surface pressure is 93 millibars. That's the wrong order of magnitude for a surface pressure reading. Standard atmospheric pressure is 1000 millibars, or 1 bar. During the very worst hurricanes, surface pressure can drop slightly below 900 millibars. So the pressure reading here probably should have been 930 millibars, not 93.
Factual error: The reporter on one of the broadcasts says that the storm has "winds gusting over 155 miles per hour, which would make it a Category 5 hurricane." But that is inaccurate. A Category 5 storm must have sustained winds over 155, not just gusts.
