• Continuity: When the terrorist first sits in the pilot's seat, a close-up of his clothes shows a bloodstain. It completely vanishes in the all other shots.

  • Miscellaneous: When Tom Burnett is taking to his wife, you see that Tom's kids are playing with a Puma Shudoh Soccer Ball that was first made in 2003. (96 minutes into the movie)

  • Revealing mistakes: While United 93 is still on the apron, in one shot, you can clearly see a WestJet 737-700 in the background, which, in the very next shot, is taxiing behind United 93 for departure. Westjet does not serve Newark New Jersey, and WestJet Airlines did not add Transborder service to the United States until 2004, therefore, that plane should not have been there.

  • Continuity: When the last passenger rushes to make the plane, the metal detector goes off. He throws a lot of loose change on the Rontgen scanning machine. When cleared, he picks up his bag and his belongings but the coins have disappeared from the machine and he hasn't taken them.

  • Miscellaneous: In the scene where the fighter pilots are advised that the plane went down, the jet in the background takes off and the camera stays on the other jet. In the cockpit, you can see that fighter pilot waving at the camera.

  • Factual errors: On the ramp area we see that United 93 aircraft is being pushed back by a Servisair/Globeground (now Penauille Servisair) push-back machine. For pushing back and ground services United Airlines uses United Services (a parent company).

  • Continuity: When the pilots are doing the pre-flight checklist, they check the 'Left and Right Electrical Hydraulic Pump' switches twice, for no particular reason.

  • Anachronisms: The Dell keyboards you see throughout the movie didn't come out until after 2002 at least.

  • Factual errors: At one point, a radar screen shows "CLE" and an airport diagram, meaning Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The runway diagram is incorrect for the airport; it shows a triangle, while Hopkins Airport's runways form a slanted "T" shape.
