Well, I'm going to open this thread for a few (more or less) useful maps of mine I'm going to make.
I want to start it with something we (the survivors) all started with: A map of the course flight 815 took and where it went down.
Hints:
- The pilot mentions that the radio went out after 6 hours (1x01 Pilot). Flight 815 was a Boeing 777 traveling at an average speed of 896 kph which makes 5376 kph after 6 hours.
- The pilot also mentions that they were heading back toward Fiji and went down after approximately 1000 miles (1x01 Pilot).
- When we see Kate's flashback of the crash and look out the window next to her we see that the plane is tilting to the right after it was hit by the first turbulence (1x01 Pilot).
- When we look at the sun and shadows after the crash the plane must have come'n in from Southwest, which is also an indication for a wide turn during the crash, cause to reach Fiji the plane must have been coming from Northeast of the island.
- Later on the show we see the Tail End crash (2x07 The other 48 days). We see it coming in from the sea ... which is impossible as the other plane parts where coming in from the opposite direction into the other side of the island. It can be assumed that because the tail broke of first it took a whole lot different course.
- There is also an Information around that the numbers lead to GPS coordinates which shall be close to the commercial airline trail from Sydney to Los Angeles. I have put that information on the map too but as you will see it is way of track. Especially when you consider they where heading back for Fiji and not New Guinea.
-> From all this evidence I've drawn this map, click on the image .. it's 1.2 MB big. (detailed)
I hope you find that information useful and I'm allowed to post further maps
