Corrected entry: When Jodie Foster sets the propane alight, she tells her daughter to get under the fireproof blanket, and then gets under one herself. However, she only covers the lower half of her body, so if the propane had set fire to the rest of the room hiding under the blankets would have been pretty pointless.

Corrected entry: When all three men are together, writing notes to Foster they are all downstairs, you can see the front door in the background. Instead of carrying on with the conversation she could've just run to the bedroom and called 911 on her cell or the home phone.
Correction: At this point, she could not be sure there were only three men in the house. She was unfamilar with the surveillance system, as well as being scared and confused, so it makes sense that she was not thinking clearly.
While the facts in this correction are accurate, Meg eventually left the room to grab her phone without still knowing if more than three men were actually in the house, so this correction is a bit iffy.

Correction: That's a character mistake - she was not completely safe from an eventual explosion, but did not have many other options. As it was, she lucked out that the propane did not set fire to the entire room.
