Revealing mistake: When Elliot and Maggie first arrive in Boston and Elliot begins reporting on the 31 injured patients, in several shots Maggie is supposedly on the phone with Jim back in New York. In each shot if you look closely you can see her iPhone's screen is lit up and is on the home screen, meaning she isn't actually on the phone.

Factual error: The General wants to do his interview by the TV so he can watch March Madness at the same time. When the interview is about to begin, it shows a Kentucky game being played on Kentucky's home court. Teams cannot play on their own court during the NCAA Tournament. (00:40:50)
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.
