The Simpsons (1989)

Homer's Triple Bypass - S4-E11

Factual error: I get it, it's a comedy. But after open heart surgery, you are sedated for 1-2 days and on a ventilator. So, Homer even being awake after open heart surgery is completely false. Also, as someone who has had open heart surgery, you can barely move your chest because your sternum is fractured.

Sully (2016)

Factual error: When Sully decides to land in the Hudson River, the aircraft is approaching the George Washington Bridge the Ground Proximity Warning System advises to the pilots "Obstacle, Obstacle." This is correct; however, after the aircraft clears the bridge, the system then announces "Clear of conflict." This is incorrect, because the GPWS doesn't advise when clear of terrain. The Traffic Collision Avoidance System advises when clear of conflicts, which is only between aircraft.
