The documentary focuses on technical failures and flight protocols. There are no LGBTQ+ characters or narratives addressing non-cisnormative identities.

Gender dynamics reflect mid-20th-century archival footage. Historical newsreels emphasize traditional masculine roles like pilots and engineers, lacking significant female agency.

The film relies heavily on Western news archives. Representation is largely incidental and lacks a deliberate effort to prioritize non-Anglo-Saxon perspectives.

The film maintains a traditional journalistic perspective on technology. It does not engage with critiques of religion, capitalism, or Western institutions.

Depictions of physical trauma are centered on visceral horror. There is no representation of neurodivergent or physical disability beyond the context of accident victims.
