These and other questions will be answered nonchalantly in an episode 18 months from now, to be followed by a dozen new questions <g>.

>I agree. However, they made a major faux paus (given previous Lost episodes). When the helicopter arrived, where was Sayid? Where was he when they discussed and then waited for dawn to go look for the survivor? There is no way based on his character that he did not know it was there and crashed and took action! And give me a break, while there are ejection mechanisms in some helicopters, the odds of them working (and so low) are nil. Not only that, they implied it landed in the ocean but everything was dropped in the woods? Where was the seat? You are strapped in and the seat ejects. What about damage to the face from the helmet being forced into their chin from the force? Yet somehow autorotation was out of the question as well. The danger zone is 40' - 400'. The only helicopter I ever flew was an AH-1S Cobra and it had an ejection seat. I guess on Lost it was, what - a new majical helicoper with a new, majical lateral ejection seat (lateral ejection seats were invented in
> 2002 I think), or the pilot had time to eject the rotor blades and canopy first (ejection system is supposed to handle that as well as the canopy)... :o) ROFL
