Like many of you I am re watching Lost from the beginning during the down time. I watched both parts of the pilot last night and I have a couple questions that I'm pretty sure would have been talked about but I coulden't fing answers to.
1. When the pilot wakes up in the cockpit he tells Jack that about an hour before they hit the turbulance their equipment stopped working and they tried to turn to land in Fiji I believe he said and that by the time they crashed they were 1,000 miles of course and people would be looking for them in the wrong spot. Now we know why the plane crashed on the island. But what caused the plane to go haywire and end up over the island in the first place? Was it just a normal problem with the plane or something more? My other question goes more with a thread I started in What I think is going on called "Not Supposed To Do That" so I think I will leave this here and finish up there. Thanks.
I'm going to move this to the re-watch forum. I'm sure there are others with the same question and that is the perfect place for this as we're rewatching Pilot this week.
Please feel free to continue there. :thankyous

Possibilities:
1) The pilot is not telling the truth.
-He could be employed by Dharma/Mittelos/pick-your-evil-corporation, and purposefully flew the plane towards the island with the intention of landing it.
-He could be a "havid" that is purposefully misleading the Losties, for whatever reason
2) He is telling the truth
-It could have been the long reach of smokey/Jacob using his super telekinetic powers to mess with the plane and draw it in.
-It could have simply been a mechanical malfunction with the equipment-- a coincidence. Nothing more, nothing less.
-It could have been drawn in/messed with by the electromagnetic pulse or some other Island phenomena.
-It could have been sabotaged by someone on board, or before take-off
-Fermions.

Good ideas Vonnegut but if it was in fact pulled in WHY? Why this plane and these people? Another quick catch that I'm sure you all noticed. Kate tells Charlie that "we have to go back for him". You all know the last time we have seen Jack or Kate Jack is yelling we have to go back. Also in one of the final episodes Sawyer tells Kate after she tell him they have to go back to the beach that there is always someone to go back for. Just seems to be a repeating theme here. Also When Locke asks Walt do you want to know a secrete. Do we ever hear the secrete? I need a reminder. Watching these old episodes is fun.

I always assumed that he was telling the truth. But there are just too many coincidences. And I've been thinking about why smokey immediately killed the pilot.
Anyway, it kind of makes sense that if the crash was created by a corporation, that they would need to get the pilot involved. And so if the pilot had an active role in bringing them to the island, then this could easily explain why the pilot was so viciously killed once he popped his head out of the broken windshield.
In season 3 we found out that Desmond not making it back to the hatch to push the button on time causes an EMP that "fried" the planes navigational equiptment causing it to go down.
(...that's the story anyway.)

Well, that would work, if not for the time-lapse between when the plane lost radio contact, and when the plane actually broke apart and went down.
The alarm wasn't going off for that long. It was hours, supposedly, between the time that the plane lost radio, and when it went down. So, Desmond caused one or the other, but not both.

I've been contemplating the pilot's involvement with the whole scam.

But if Naomi truely is a liar then I suspect that part was a lie as well.

Paleface, I remember Walt telling Michael that Mr. Locke told him a miracle occurred here. We really don't know if Locke confided in Walt that he couldn't walk before crashing on the island.

That makes sense. It would take quite some time for a plane to travel 1,000 miles off course. I think I'd like to pick the evil corporation of my choice at this point.
