Does anyone know what time Flight 815 departed and how the time zones work tarveling from Sydney to LA. I thought the flight took off in the mid afternoon. My question behind all this is that there has been alot of mentioning of how they flew off course for a few hours, plus they had to be in the air for some time before they got off course. So if the departure time was say around 2:30pm and they flew for a while they would have crashed just a couple hours befor sun down, yet when they show us the crash it appears that they have most of the day ahead of them befor sun down. Any thoughts

So it left at 2:55pm.

RAI, I had the same question a few days ago. There is a thread about that in "General Theories", "Time of the Crash":
