- Questions about breath, gangrene and the fuselage's smell lead to dark jokes about isolating the dying patient; these are reactions to the film, not survival advice.
- Questions revisit cigarettes and cooking, ask whether Nando should always have been captain, and question Roy's deferential relationship to Antonio; possible crash-related impairment is speculation.
- A proposed snow-rugby diversion runs into the reported use of rugby balls as urine containers; sanitation, outdoor defecation and the fuselage smell remain unresolved.
- Roy being trusted with aircraft radio repair because he installed a stereo seems tenuous, though complex older audio wiring supplies a partial defense.
- Questions ask how survivors' diets changed afterward, including possible aversion to red meat; vegetarianism, cereals and other choices remain imagined.
