Factual error: The exchanges between the bad guy pretending to be an air traffic controller and the pilot of the doomed aircraft are not even close to realistic.

Jargon, chatter, and 'CB' slang have no place in ATC communications."

Factual error: Transport aircraft do not have ejection seats; only fighters, bombers, and attack aircraft have them.
