This concept was tried many years ago with a TV series entitled 'The New People'. It had the same idea. A plane crashes on a remote deserted Island and the survivors take it from there. It bombed after seventeen episodes. This one i.e. 'Lost' is headed for the same fate. I did get a kick out of the airplane engine still running after it had been torn loose from its pylon and imbedded in the sand. Yet with no fuel to feed it it was still sucking air to beat the band and had enough power to suck a person into it then explode. As low to the ground as it was even if it had been running like that the amount of sand and debris that would have been sucked into it would have shut it down there and then.
