• The French man in the hatch called Desmond was racing around the world when his boat shipwrecked onto the island. There was a washed up ship on the island that had the dynamite, that could be Desmonds boat. I'm not that sure, because if that was his boat, I have no idea why it has dynamite stashed on the ship.

If the concrete is thick to shield from magnetic fields, it's probably protecting the countdown computer since there obviously are electromagnetic charges on the internals of the computer and any memory devices.

Desmond wasn't French (or at least he didn't speak with a French accent). He sounded Scottish to me.

Where was there ever a clue or indication that Desmond might be married to the French woman? I sure missed it if there's something there and it's never been brought out here on the message board before.
Also I don't see how the "Black Rock" ship could have been Desmond's since it was a large multi-masted vessel of rather ancient design and would have required a full crew complement to sail, one or two men couldn't have done it or wouldn't have tried to do it purposefully. The ship apparently dated to a time when slave ships still plied the oceans, at least in the South Pacific. And the dynamite was obviously much older than the the time Desmond had been there. (Dynamite doesn't start to "sweat" nitro that quickly and doesn't become that unstable in a short time.) We know Desmond was in the US when Jack was treating his to-be wife for her paralysis from her accident. If Desmond did actually get there on a boat, we've probably never seen it. And, if Desmond had been on the island, left and went to the US, then went back to be found by the castaways, then he obviously isn't an innocent in this and nothing he said can be trusted.
