MISTAKES/GOOFS

CREW: A camera and hand can be clearly seen as Don pulls David away from the train near the start of the episode telling him that there is a toxic leak.
FAKE: People dying disappear instantaneously from the infrared display. Corpses temperature taking several hours to fall to ambient temperature, they should disappear progressively from the display.
