Last season, Naomi had said that the plane crashed in water too deep for
a full recovery operation. So to fake the crash, you wouldn't need to
be too exact. Just put a bunch of random dead bodies into the fuselage
and lower it into the water. That would be enough to fool the
underwater cameras.
Except for the pilot. But transporting the pilot's body from Lost
Island (after Smokey killed him) to the crash site is straightforward.
Remember, a fellow named J.J. Abrams *already* faked a plane crash. :-)
He had bought a surplus obsolete Lockheed L1011 jetliner, cut it up
into pieces, and scattered the pieces over a Hawaii beach, for filming
the crash scenes of Lost.
It's been said that you can catch a glimpse of the wreckage from a
commercial airliner flying overhead in Hawaii, and that sometimes those
passengers had to be reassured that what they were seeing from their
windows was just a TV show being filmed!
So if Abrams could do it with the limited funding for a TV show, imagine
what a corporation the size of Hanso or Widmore could get away with.
