Not to mention the gravity defying drowning scene in the aftermarth of the attack (At least my understanding of gravity - maybe someone else can explain)

Actually I don't mind Under Seige - it makes no pretention of being realistic and thats the point. Pearl Harbour claimed to be an accurate film.
