I still believe (and time will tell) that where the people were seated aboard the plane had some kind of cosmic correlation with when/how they would die. For example. ALL the Tailies are now dead, except for Bernard who was seated in the FRONT of the plane but by coincidence was in the bathroom at the BACK when the crash was in progress.

Sure, this doesn't entirely work when applied to every 815'er (read Boone/Shannon) but I still think the tail section thing makes some kind of sick sense.

Jane: Goodyear?

Frank: No, the worst.
