Line 161:
** Those who do stay in the library, decide to burn books to keep warm. Books that they have to take off the ''wooden shelves'' to burn.
*** Wooden shelves have to be broken up to fit in most fireplaces, and are usually painted/stained with substances that release toxic fumes when burned. Books were the safer alternative by far. The dumb part was in tearing them apart and burning them page by page rather than using some loose pages as firestarters and then burning entire books- that would have been much more effective.
**** 'Breaking up' would have been trivially easy, as they had a fire axe available. Likewise, the 'toxic substance' used on shelving is ''varnish'', which is only a concern if you intend to ''cook'' over the fire -- which they did not.
** Then there was the scene meant to be a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] in which Frank is dangling from a glass roof. The glass starts to crack and Frank decides to make a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] because there is no way the glass can support Jason and his weight. [[Fridge Logic]] sets in when you realize Jason is holding onto two steel support beams that could have easily held the weight of the sled, the entire party, and probably an elephant.
* The Prison Guard in ''[[Con Air]].'' This Prison Guard and FBI Agent Larkin have just found a box labeled "Do Not Open" in the cell of Cyrus Grissom, a criminal genius, terrorist, murderer, and general all-around [[Complete Monster]]. Larkin goes to fetch the bomb squad, explicitly ordering the guard to not open the box. Literally the second Larkin is out of the room, the guard sits right down on the bed and opens the box. [[Stuff Blowing Up|He is immediately blown to smithereens.]]
