Actually in the Indian Ocean, which is Big Mystery Number One. The Sunda
Trench is nowhere near where Flight 815 should have been. There's no
sort of mechanical or instrument failure that can account for the plane
being where the fakers are supposed to have said it was. About the only
plausible scenario is a hijacking. Perhaps that will be addressed later.

This is Big Mystery Number Two. It *is* possible for an air crash to
occur over such deep water that recovery of bodies and large items of
wreckage is impractical. 131 bodies were recovered from Air India 182
but most if not all of those had exited the aircraft as it broke up,
before it hit the water. Only those bodies and the flight data recorders
were recovered. The rest was lost.
However, not only does the scenario depicted for Oceanic 815 suggest
that the airframe was largely intact (albeit in several large pieces)
after impact, but also that most of the bodies were still on board. We
saw one of them -- the pilot -- quite clearly on the video.
If a salvage vessel could get an ROV down to film the pilot's body, then
the NTSB could get something down to recover it, and any other bodies
still strapped into the seats. At the very least they'd need to hire the
same or similar salvage crew for an officially sanctioned and do***ented
investigation. They wouldn't just accept the word of a crew who stumbled
upon the site by accident.
To have someone state that the bodies are too deep for recovery, then
show one of them being filmed by an ROV, is either a mistake by the
production team or a deliberately written-in error by whoever faked the
crash.
Of course you could always argue that in a fictional world where someone
has the power to fake a plane crash, it's not too much of a stretch to
assume they could also buy off the NTSB, the FBI or anyone else who
might have a chance of uncovering the truth.
I really hope that's not the direction LOST is heading. I don't want it
to turn into The X-Files.
