The definitive answer why the plane crashed

[ykOOpS]

Hi Greg, I was hoping you could clear something up for me.
It is in regard to Flight 815's crash.

During Lost The Answers
Damon and Carlton seem to explain why the plane crash's
This suggests they are Finally laying this mystery to rest.

If this is the case and they did Intend to honestly Inform us exactly why and when the plane crashed, can you please give me a clear answer that can not be left open to Interpretation.
So we can finally put this one to rest.



Quotes from Lost the Answers

Carlton: Desmond Failed to enter the code into the Computer in the Hatch
Damon: As a result Flight 815 crashes.
Carlton: That is the definitive answer why the plane crashed

Note: Carlton says Desmond Failed to enter the numbers.
He didn’t say Desmond entered the numbers late
Or failed to Enter the numbers in time.



On Sept22th (Island Time) Desmond Leaves the Hatch
When He returns all hell is breaking loose & we can hear the magnetic pressure building up.


Although he’s Late, Desmond Dose enter the numbers
The sound of the magnetic build up stops as though the charge was drained or dispersed, to me this did not sound like an EMP being Shot out of the Hatch.

Carlton: The electric magnetic pulse shot out of the hatch and fried the instruments on the plane & the plane crashed.

???


From Lost The Answers

Voiceover man: With the turn of a key, Desmond destroyed the hatch, releasing the Electromagnetic Pressure and preventing global catastrophe.

Carlton: For the first time we've gone off the Island, We find 2 guys in this mysterious snow hut someplace, and an electro magnetic pulse suddenly makes the Island visible.

Its confirmed that an electric magnetic pulse shot out of the hatch when Desmond Turned the Key.
And this is backed Up with the pulsating sound we hear.

I guess you see were I’m going by now


So the question I would like you to clear up is simply this.

When Carlton says the definitive answer why the plane crashed is when Desmond Failed to enter the numbers

Dose Carlton mean when Desmond was Late entering the numbers?

Thanks

At the point when Desmond tried to enter the numbers, it was too late. The system had already gone into system failure. Desmond typed in the number sequence, but the computer system didn't accept it. So were they entered? No, though he tried. Was he late? Yes, very late.

Thanks for responding Gregg, however your reply dose not really clear this up.

You seem to say Yes he didn’t enter the numbers in time & Yes he was late.

I had hoped for something like,
Yes Desmond’s Late entering of the numbers did cause the plane to crash
Or
Desmond entering the numbers Late did shoot out an electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

But I do appreciate your time to answer, thanks.

I just want to take this chance to say I think its amazing the level of Imagination and hard work you guys put into Lost
I think many people wont know just how amazing it has been untill the ride stops. (3 years from now).
Please pass on my admiration to all the cast, crew and production team
Again Thanks Gregg.

Ps: I guess I will have to continue to believe in the key

I was still thinking about this question, and I think I may have confused the two situations.

When Desmond caused the plane to crash, the final symbol had not resolved and Desmond was able to enter the numbers before that happened. The system accepted the entry and there was only a breif electromagnetic pulse that shot out. That's what caused the plane to crash.

However, when Desmond turned the fail-safe key, all the symbols had been resolved, the system went into system failure and it was heading towards a China Syndrome-like situation that could've destroyed the world. The only thing to stop it at that point was turning the fail-safe key.

Does that help clarify it any? Sorry about getting it all confused.

So your saying the day Desmond was late to enter the numbers, (just after he killed Kelvin) Is not the day he made the plane crash ?

When Desmond returns to the hatch after leaveing Kelvin for dead
All the Symbols had resolved.
The System Failure Voice is sounding and the screen says System failure
The hatch is going crazy with things flying around
Desmond trys to Enter the numbers but the computer wont except them.
Desmond trys a number of times, then suddnely the sytem resets.
