In the 69th minutes Shatner is sucked out of the airplane door. Seconds before, he was nowhere near the door.
In the 20th minute a stewardess is seen preparing food in a common seating area (not a private, hygienic area). She then walks with a tray offering canapes. On a commercial airliner, none of this would happen.
In the 63rd minute, they use torches on the plane. These would have triggered alarms and possibly sprinklers.
