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.

Trivia: When Sloan tries to apologize to Don for her actions on the air, he interrupts her and tells her to wait for ten seconds. Exactly ten seconds pass between him interrupting her and the time that Charlie Skinner begins yelling at her.

Sloan Sabbith: Here's the thing: Lockheed is a good buy right now because they make the Hellfire missile that's shot out of a Predator drone, but I'm advising my viewers not to buy the stock.
Don Keefer: You just said it's a good buy.
Sloan Sabbith: It's a great buy if you like money.
Don Keefer: But you think it's an immoral stock.
Sloan Sabbith: You get me.
Don Keefer: And Zane doesn't want you to go on the air and say that.
Sloan Sabbith: That's close.
Don Keefer: You already went on the air and said it and now Zane's pissed.
Sloan Sabbith: That's exactly it, yeah.

The Genoa Tip - S2-E2

Will McAvoy: [Old footage of the 9/11 report.] I've been searching for Biblical quotes. None of them... We don't know how many are dead. It's gonna be a lot. It's gonna be thousands. We don't know who attacked us, we don't know what's coming tomorrow, and I don't know what I'm doing. But I make you this promise: I'm gonna be with you all night. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here.
