Just rewatched it, and I caught something I missed before. According to the cover story, more than eight people got off the plane. Only eight made it to the island. Here's what Jack said at the press conference -- note the very last line:
MALE REPORTER #1: Dr. Shephard! Dr. Shephard! Can you tell us what it was like when the plane hit the ocean? Uh, how you survived.
(Camera shutters snapping)
JACK: Um...
(shutters continue snapping)
JACK: It--it all happened really fast. I remember the impact. I remember the--the plane filling up with water. A group of us got to the emergency door, and, um... got out before it went down.
MALE REPORTER #1: And those of you who survived--you swam to the island?
JACK: No. We had, uh, cushions. We had some life jackets. We were in the water for over a day before the current took us in. By then, there was only eight of us left.
Forgive me for being dim, but I don't really get the point. I must be missing or misreading something. Are you saying that jack's recounting
doesn't match the "cover story"? "more than 8 people made it off the plane but only 8 made it to the island" is pretty much what he
said. I am reading what he said as more than 8 made it off the plane, but some died the day they were in the water before they got to the island. And only 8
were left at that point
