The tornado scene stirred some controversy with the National Weather Service as overpasses are not considered to be safe shelters in the event of a tornado due to the wind funneling effect increasing the likelihood of being struck by debris. In 1991, many thought overpasses were safe, after a highly publicized video of a television film crew and some civilians survived a tornado near El Dorado, Kansas, by taking shelter under an overpass, although the overpass did not take a direct hit. However, in 1999, the deadly Moore/Bridge Creek F5 tornado killed several people who were hiding in overpasses, prompting the National Weather Service and other weather agencies to proclaim them as unsafe. Coincidentally, two more deadly tornadoes hit the Oklahoma City area about a month before this film's theatrical release, prompting Zack Snyder to consider removing the tornado scene from the movie, although he ultimately kept it, as Superman would have had to deal with all kinds of disasters and tragedies.
