Gregg Nations posted these replies to a thread titled "the definitive answer to why the plane crashed" over at the lage, and the difference of Desmond being late that time - and turning the fail-safe key later on:

Quote :

When Desmond caused the plane to crash, the final symbol had not resolved and Desmond was able to enter the numbers before that happened. The system accepted the entry and there was only a breif electromagnetic pulse that shot out. That's what caused the plane to crash. However, when Desmond turned the fail-safe key, all the symbols had been resolved, the system went into system failure and it was heading towards a China Syndrome-like situation that could've destroyed the world. The only thing to stop it at that point was turning the fail-safe key.

we also were given the answer as to why Danielle's signal was on repeat and no one could hear her distress call --signal jamming at Looking Glass.

I hate to argue with Gregg Nations, but the final symbol did resolve and it did go into system failure. Nice try though.

I thought he was wrong!!

Maybe someone should post that over at the lage so we can hear what he has to say about it?

I guess we also have a more complete answer on Mrs. Klugh.  She was taken to the Flame, and later was shot and (we presume) killed!

Mrs. Klugh was shot in the chest right? If she didn't die that would be one hell of a wound to recover from.

And let's not forget that if she stayed where she was shot or her body was brought inside, the Flame soon blew up. The shock wave would of finished her off.
