It always bothered me that MGS2 supposedly took place on the Hudson, but you can't actually see any land, just water in all directions with no shorelines visible. It's a RIVER, you can see one shore while standing on the other. You should be able to see in both directions.
**SPOILERS**
It also strained credulity that when they crashed into Manhattan at the end, they were thrown all the way to Federal Hall, which is a good half-mile from the shore.
