1. The President walks through the White House in the same area where the tour is being given and stops to talk to one little girl and allows her to interview him about foreign policy and put it on her YouTube channel.

109. even though your ex op. you can get a job at the White House janitor service without any flags going off
110. if a girl's life is in danger the President of the United States should give in to terrorist

120. Never offer cake to a mercenary. Chances are he's a diabetic.
shareI was waiting for this to somehow be relevant to the plot but, it wasn't. Was the character made diabetic just for this joke? Would you really have your super secret Delta force CIA hit man work for you with diabetes??!?!?! Does he check his glucose level during fire fights?
shareThe Taliban are evil. They fed him sweets, cakes and cola for two years. That's how he wound up with diabetes
share120. some people think that as a newly hired secret service agent, they would immediately be put on the president's security detail.
121. when the white house and capitol have been taken by terrorists, you can get right up to the gate at the ellipse within a few realtime minutes from a residence in d.c. (and it sure didn't look like the ex-wife was living in any of the residences closest to the white house)
122. the friendship arch in chinatown was teleported a block north to i street
123. minutes after the single greatest terrorist attack is executed against the united states, people would be milling around the reflecting pool less than a mile from the flame-engulfed white house
LOVED IT LOL

124. When the presumed dead president dramatically appears in the midst of a crowd and confronts the current president, the people and press around them will be oblivious and not even look around but will continue to chat in little groups among themselves.
share125. Apparently you need the president alive to get his fingerprints scanned.Also the entire coup was to get the launch codes and wouldn't that be expedited by eliminating the president immediately?
126. The movie suggests that other countries do not follow news and would find themselves being attacked when they spot a missile above their heads and figure it was USA and launch a war.
127. If the White House is Seized, the American Army will surround it with exactly ONE Tank and no rocket launchers of its own.
128. If the President rides around the lawn in a limo with a rocket launcher on his shoulder in a fire fight in front of the worlds media, the Army will passively do NOTHING.
129. Apparently you can roll windows of car that is thick enough to sustain through machine gun and rpg fire.
130. When you see your president getting shot by machine gun and rpg, best thing to do is to sit back to protect him.
131. White house doesn't have a control room that has access to video surveillance to inform their agents that bad guys are coming to shoot them.
132. Air Force One or its escort fighters neither have a way to track incoming missiles unless they get a phone call from someone nor they have any anti-missile defense.
133. You need the president alive to get his fingerprint.
Starting from #120:
120: The President needs to put on his glasses before he can shoot properly.

135. Minutes after diffusing a siege of the White house, averting a catastrophic nuclear disaster and achieving unilateral peace through personal survival, it makes perfect sense that your next move would be to order the pilot of the 8 tonne 'Marine One' to fly within inches of civilians, milling around the reflecting pool. Even if they aren’t decapitated by the landing gear, it’s not as if they are likely to have been traumatised by several hours of explosions, gunfire and low flying fighter-bombers.
shareWhat I learnt from watching White House Down...
136. No one is suspicious as to why classical music is playing in the background while having a phone call with some mysterious person on the other line during an invasion of the White House.
137. When the kid you were just about to shoot a few minutes ago comes charging at you, you do not bother to just shoot her even though she is of no use to you now.
138. You can survive a huge blast from a row of grenades (the ones around the bad guy's neck) by running and hiding about 3 to 5 metres behind what looks like a simple podium (and walk out seemingly unhurt by the blast, just a bit banged up from the fight prior to the blast).
139. It only takes a couple of weeks to repair extensive damage done to the White House.
When you are involved in kidnapping and hostage taking in the White House you are just a bad guy, but when you shoot one of your hostages ____"You'll go to jail for THAT"!!!!!
You can't spell 'fundamentalist'
without the word MENTAL.
140. Fire sets off sprinklers in other rooms even where there's no fire.
shareThese are spot on. Roland Emmerich is the new Andy Sidaris.
141. Presidential cars have RPG's chilling in the backseat, ready to go.
142. You can run around fighting terrorists all day and not be out of breath.
143. After the biggest attack in US history, immediately take the hero and his daughter on sky cruise. You can address the public after.
144. When the white house is under siege, it's normal to putz around the kitchen glancing at updates on a small TV knowing that your daughter and ex are inside.
145. It's very easy to crawl atop an elevator and not get crushed.
146. When a terrorist is pointing a machine gun at you, yell at him for smashing antiques, he won't mind.
I lol when the girl waved the flag at the end. So ridiculous...
147. There are no video cameras anywhere in the white house.
148. None of the doors are made from metal and none of them ever get locked, even as a fire presentation technique, never mind to stop bad guys roaming the halls.
149. When a bomb goes off, the elevators still work.
150. Cutting off the power to the white house would have been the easiest way to stop the hacker and everything else they were trying to do.
151. When the President orders the army to blow a hole in the wall so they can drive through it and escape, the tank immediately put itself in that hole they just made blocking it!
152. Apparently, a helicopter strike does not require taking out the snipers with RPG on the roof first.
153. A guy going for a job interview inside the white house can get through the first security gate and through the main door while carrying a hand gun. Before anyone says 'why does he need that for a job interview?'
154. Cleaners with large trollies are allowed to walk around the building during the middle of he day, just to stretch their legs apparently.
155. When numerous bombs go off in several building and they are falling down around you with shrapnel blasting through the air, and a siege is in operation, a huge crowd of spectators will gather at the scene to watch like its a movie and a news helicopter will violate air space policy, putting everyone in danger from being shot down and crashing into the crowd, to get a better angle for a photograph. As though they never invented the zoom feature.
156. A shoe will save you getting crushed from an elevator roof, but for some reason, the door of the elevator will still line up with the height of the floor, even though it was prevented from reaching the correct height.
157. When you kill a lot of bad guys and take their bullet proof vests it may be wise to give one of them to the President, you know, in case he gets shot.
158. An 11 year old has an iphone, a youtube channel (you need to be 13 to have an account) and a contract that allows her to upload videos through 3g, and has the media following her already to know when she posts something interesting.
159. There is one easily broken door and just two guards protecting the entire arsenal of automatic weapons located within the white house. Both guards of which don't bother to wear vests and are taken out with just one shot each from a muffled hand weapon.
160. It takes at least fifteen minutes for anyone to even think about phoning up the terrorists and asking them what they want.
161. The whole give us money and a plane or we will kill 4 people demand will be not only ignored, but never even mentioned again by anyone, not even the terrorists, as though it didn't matter. Not even as a misdirection ploy.
162. All the computers in the secret command bunker have usb ports that you can plug a standard notebook into. None of them have timer lockouts or facial, finger-print or voice protection. None of them have cameras or are externally monitored yet they have the power to destroy the world, even overriding and locking out Norads own computer system and somehow preventing any supervisors password or actual human being from just unplugging the computer on their end.
163. People on the tour of the white house are allowed to leave the group and go walkabouts on their own to the toilets on another floor. And no one will even ask to see their id tour badge, nor will they even be given one. In fact the tour group seems to be the easiest way to get an entire army into the white house without anyone even questioning it, and you'll be left alone to wonder around at will, with your phones as well.
share164. Getting stabbed in the stomach area with a long shard of glass will not be painful at all, and will not slow you down in the slightest. In fact, it needn't be mentioned again in the film ever.
