Ok. so. I'm not sure if anyone cares about this or if anyone knows already, but the day in which the S.T.A.R Labs Particle Accelerator was launched does not line up with the day shown in both the  Arrow  and  Flash  S02E09 and S01E01, respectively.





In the  Arrow  episode in which the said day occurs Barry Allen is in Starling City the entire day and a few days prior. At the end of the episode he does make it back to Central City for the launch of the Particle Accelerator. We see him on the phone talking to Felicity, he states that he mad eit back but "missed the cutoff in line for S.T.A.R. Labs.". After saying this he opens the sliding door to his Laboratory    (NOTE: he is still holding his phone to his ear, whilst still talking to Felicity) . A few shots show Barry taking more time to talk with Felicity. When Barry is no longer talking with Felicity and is looking at his Mother's Murder Case Board, the news says that everyone is being told to evacuate    (NOTE: Barry turns to his right to look at the screen) . The rest of the scene continues as normal, in place for Barry to become 'The Flash'.





In the  Flash  episode in which the said day occurs Barry Allen is in Central City the entire day, when he was working on the fecal sample from the get-away car on the Marden Brother Robbery Case. At the end of that day Barry is going to watch the launch of the Particle Accelerator with Iris West. When Iris' bag is stolen Barry pursues the thief, only to be thwart by the thief and taken to the CCPD for questioning on the ID of the thief.  This means he cannot be at S.T.A.R. Labs for the launch of the Particle Accelerator, just like the Arrow''' episode but under different circumstances.  Barry the enters his Laboratory, he slides open the door,  (NOTE: he is holding a tissue/hankerchief to his nose, NO PHONE) '''. One shot shows Barry reacting to the leak in his roof, ''' not on the phone to Felicity.  Barry then goes on to look at his Mother's Murder Case Board, the news says that everyone is being tol to evacuate  (NOTE: Barry turns to his left to look at the screen) '''. The rest of the scene continues as normal, in place for Barry to become the 'Flash'.

Now this could all be poor attention to story, by fault of the writers, producers, etc. or it could be something else.

There was one more thing I noticed, when Barry is looking at the board, in the  Arrow  episode the Central City Tribute's front page article on Nora Allen's death has a picture of what appears to be a car. Yet in the  Flash  episode the picture is of Nora Allen herself.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, you might be saying, "Oh that's just another tiny continuity error", but everything about the newspaper is the same. All the other pictures and written information on the newspaper remains the same. So, this must mean the picture change was completely intentional and not just a different document made up by the props department.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, basically, what I'm trying to say is, 'What if it's not accidental and maybe it's all intentional as some sort of Flash time-travel mishap has changed a few things. Even if it's not the creators of the shows can play it of as a time-travel mishap.
