Factual error: The airplane shown for flight 828 is a Boeing 737-200. The max capacity for that plane is 120 passengers. Flight 828 had 191 passengers.
Factual error: Just before Ben and Cal get off the subway, the conductor announces that they are at 59th St. Columbus Circle. The F train runs along 6th Ave and does not stop at 59th St. Columbus Circle. Neither does the E train for that matter.
Visible crew/equipment: Michaela and Jared are driving through the woods in the "middle of nowhere" but as they round a corner after making a right hand turn you can see the whole crew behind them on the road just before the scene cuts. (00:20:21)
S.N.A.F.U. - S1-E7
Factual error: A kid comes to the police station to give Micaela a gun used in a murder. He has the gun in a paper bag in his hands. How could a kid enter the inner offices of the NYPD with a gun in his hands (albeit in a bag), and not get caught at least by metal detectors? (00:26:47)
Continuity mistake: Lourdes has a shopping basket with pregnancy test boxes, and a jar is to one side of them to the right. The next time the basket is shown it is fuller and the jar is lying across one of the boxes. (00:18:33)
Crosswinds - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: The door from Michaela's apartment changes colors from dark blue to white.
Factual error: The Captain of Flight 828 is recreating the storm the airplane flew through in a simulator. He states that he increased speed to 300 Knots to fly through the storm. That is not accurate. If he increased the speed to 300 Knots then he was flying below 300 knots. Yet the cruising speed of a Boeing 737 is over 450 Knots. He could not have been cruising at such a slow airspeed. Even the 300 knots he increased to is slower than the plane's normal cruising speed.
Factual error: Ben and his wife are listening to the radio in Danny's truck. The station shown is WKUD. They are in Tannersville, NY and WKUD is in Edgewood, Ohio, 420 miles away. Too far for an FM station to reach. Besides, the audio is talking about news in New York City.
Revealing mistake: When they are walking under the starry sky at the end of the episode the lighting starts. The clouds are dark and heavy...and behind the stars.
Character mistake: The Captain mentions that the guards were killed in the robbery, but the guards were tazed and hit (with the door and the other was punched), not killed. The companion thieves were killed by Griffin though. "Perp steals 75million, kills 2 guards..." No he didn't. (00:16:01)
Factual error: A thief has stolen 75 million dollars. He runs out with two large duffel bags. All US bills weigh a single gram. This means that $1,000,000 in $100 bills - the largest bills in circulation - weigh around 10 kilograms, or a little over 22 pounds. $75 million would be 1,650 pounds. No way this could be carried in two duffel bags.
Other mistake: The wolf is accused of killing two officers, but they were only tased.
Suggested correction: "The wolf is accused of killing two officers, but they were only tased." It's actually he killed the 2 men not the officers thy were talking about the 2 men he had to help him.
Continuity mistake: Michaela was shot on her right side, but when she meets Zeke on the street, she is holding her left side.
Factual error: When Saanvi reads the "paternity confirmed" test results, the child's alleles do not include the obligate/matching allele. (00:27:30)
Factual error: In a flashback scene, Dr. Saanvi Bahl is sending a voicemail to her partner on an IPhone 5S, just before Flight 828 takes off. The IPhone 5S was released in September of 2013, and Flight 828 disappeared in April of 2013 in the series. (00:01:08)
Continuity mistake: In the hospital ben sits next to his wife's bed. Ben has no glasses on. In one cut he has the glasses on and the next they are gone again, then a few seconds later you see him put on the glasses. (00:19:00)
Return Trip - S2-E6
Factual error: Liver dysfunction is detected when Saanvi sees Theo has bright yellow irises. Jaundice turns the whites of the eyes a dull yellow, not the iris. (00:15:09)
Factual error: Ben asks Yale University library to loan him a medieval diary and they immediately send it to him. No library or archive in the world would loan out a unique item like this, even to another university. Usually they are not allowed to leave the premises, except under very strict conditions for a high-profile exhibition, certainly not just sent to an academic who's interested in reading them.
Factual error: The thief Michaela chases down, would actually have a very hard time getting his hands on the cold medicine supposedly used to cook meth. A law was passed in 2006 that requires all retail stores to keep these products behind the counter and in a locked case because they contain pseudoephedrine, which is used in the manufacturing of illegal drugs, i.e. meth. This episode is set in 2019, yet the thief is able to swipe the medicine from the floor display. Not possible. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: When Zeke is sitting in the hospital, next to medical equipment, it disappears from the scene when he stands up and walks away. (00:23:53)
