First off, the original story about the faked crash was that all the bodies were on the wreckage of the plane, thus everyone was accounted for. Then you take eight of those bodies off the plane, and it calls the crash story into question. But you can explain that away by saying that the salvage crew made a mistake because they were working with remote operated cameras at a great depth. Now you take even more bodies off the plane and the "crash story" becomes even more questionable.

This seems to me that you are changing your point. You said: "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: "

and what Jack said was: "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. "

To me, Jack's statements jibe with the "cover story" you described

Here's something else to throw out there: 8 people made it onto the island, and 6 got off the island. However ... Aaron had not yet been "born" when Kate set foot on that island ... yet he is counted as one of the Oceanic 6. That means 3 people had to have "died" on that island, not 2 as Jack testified at Kate's trial.

This I agree with


There are most certainly cracks in the story. And I don't think there is any way it is going to hold up under much scrutiny. I suspect a little bit of next season will be the story falling apart, especially since Jack and Hurley have said they are sick of lying at one point or another.
