Mistakes/Goofs

• Goof (factual errors): Dial-up modems would be utterly useless during a worldwide blackout. Even if you could get both computers powered up and running the network infrastructure necessary to dial out is still non-functional.
• Goof (revealing mistake): Powerless aircraft plunge from the sky but their lights are still on.
• Goof (errors in geography): 15 years after everything turns off, several city skylines are shown. The image for the St. Louis skyline, looking from Illinois, is reversed.
• Goof (continuity error): As the cars stall on the freeway the electrical disruption moves slowly, the cars stop like dominoes jumping a few feet per second. In the view of earth from space the electrical disruption moves quickly, covering hundreds of miles per second.

Trivia
