how did we come to the conclusion that the hatch imploded instead of exploded? I understand (I think) between the differences, however, wouldn't an implosion mean that the quarantine hatch door wouldn't have ended up on the beach? Someone help me understand!

I don't really understand that either. And, how did Desmond survive the "implosion"? Did we get an answer last night?

Maybe he didn't. Maybe he didn't survive the cricket-mallet-to-the-head either. Man, I feel like someone hit ME upside the head with a mallet. That episode has me spinning...
This is what totally gets me. I mean, I guess there's a possibility (minute) that the others in/near the hatch survived, but Desmond turned the key. How could he have been so close to it and possibly survived.
BTW, DangerousDirk, or anyone, could you explain the difference between implosion and explosion? I don't really understand what an implosion is. When he looked over the site where the hatch used to be, why was the area so small. The hatch was pretty big inside wasn't it? There were several different rooms. I suppose it was such a small crater because it was filled with all the "stuff" that was in the hatch (furniture, walls, metal, etc) all vacuumed together. It just looked like kind of a shallow hole to me to represent where the hatch had been.
mplosion means everything collapsed on itself, and explosion goes outward, inplosion, inward.
im·plo·sion –noun 1. the act of imploding; a bursting inward (opposed to explosion
I assume it imploded because the giant magnet brought pulled everything to it.
You better listen my my sister's and brothers,
'cause if you do you can hear, There are voices still callin' from across the years. And they're cryin' across the ocean, And they're cryin' across the land, And they will until we all come to understand
That none of us are free, None of us are free
None of us are free, if one of us is chained, None of us are free
I think in the previews and the Lost Survivor Guide episode, the incident was repeatedly referred to as an implosion, so that's what we started calling it, too.
The hatch did indeed look imploded (which episode did they show it? last week?), but pieces of it's contents were everywhere--including the door on the beach, etc. So I'm not sure, personally.
I would assume both (implosion and explosion) give off some sort of energy. The release of this energy propelled Locke, Eko, Desmond, and Charlie away from the hatch.
Good questions.....how would someone would ever survive something like that.....and if it was an implossion the door should'nt have gone flying, it would hav ended on the bottom of the crater....
I have been struggling with this for some time now. An example of implosion is a submarine being crushed from the outside by the pressure of the surrounding water. This says to me that all things involved in an implosion would be "sucked" inward, collapsing in on itself. Therefore, there should not be anything left of any one or any thing that was down there. It is all very confusing.
