Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 was a scheduled flight from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California, United States, on a Boeing 777 owned by Oceanic Airlines. Under mysterious circumstances, on September 22, 2004, the airliner, carrying 324 passengers, deviated from its original course and disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. This is the central moment in the series Lost and the chronological beginning of the main characters' exploits on Island.
Two months later, wreckage presumed to be Oceanic Flight 815 was found in the Sunda Trench which is in the Indian Ocean near Bali, and all passengers were presumed dead. In reality, however, the discovered wreckage was staged. The real plane had suffered a mid-air break-up and crashed on an uncharted Island, with more than 70 passengers surviving the crash itself. Later, six of those survivors made it off the Island and became known as the Oceanic Six.
