MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: (At 00:50)The caption says Phoenix, Arizona, 5.46pm. But when the minibus drops the guy off at his house, the short shadow from the tall lampost on the left indicates that the time is much closer to midday.
FACT: Too many errors in the operation, design, and function of a Nuclear Power Plant to list.

TRIVIA
