The Day After Tomorrow

Factual error: When the Scottish scientist calls Hall, he tells him that the freezing temperature of fuel is -150° Fahrenheit. This isn't true, Jet A1, which is the type of fuel in such kind of choppers freezes at -52.6° Fahrenheit. The scientist says that he had to look it up, so he should have the correct figures and as this figure is quite important to estimate the temperature in the eye of the storm, he wouldn't mix it up.

Factual error: It is not feasible for a flood to stop the flow of warm air for the northern hemisphere and make it as cold as it did in the movie. The air moves far too fast for anything to stop the flow of warm air in the northern hemisphere.

Questions

Question: I noticed the librarian, Judith, never appears after the retrieval of penicillin, I say this because I missed a tid-bit of the film after they acquired it. Is she there just camera shy or did she freeze?
