They may as well have placed a huge blinking neon sign on the plane stating "CHARLIE'S PLOT DEVICE INSIDE!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Does it seem a odd to anyone but me that Boone survived a plane crash from thirty thousand feet with hardly a scratch on him but is near death after a plane crash of only thirty feet? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  I suspect that this isn't as significant as it sounds; rather just a red herring. I don't believe the theory that the survivors actually died in the plane crash is right. The series creator himself admitted in a recent interview that the survivors aren't in some kind of afterlife purgatory. The survivors have been on the island for over a month now. Surely any search and rescue endeavours have long since ended. The plane has probably been reported as "lost at sea with no survivors". The radio operator who heard Boone's message simply responded with what he knew about the plane crash based on what he'd heard about it by watching the news reports: "there were no survivors". That's just my current opinion though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> My theory about the hatch is that it's the entrance to an old bomb shelter/monitoring station dating back to when the US was testing its early nuclear devices in the south pacific during the forties and fifties. It's probably where the old wire on the beach connects to and is part of the same military infrastructure on the island as the radio tower by the black rock. I wouldn't be surprised if Hurley's golf course turned out to be an overgrown airplane runway. Rousseau's hideout likewise seemed to be stocked with some old army surplus stuff. How this all ties into the island's supernatural elements is anyone's guess though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
