FlashBack: Crash (from Jack’s Perspective)
Synopsis:
A man (Jack) awakes in the middle of a grove of bamboo trees. There are sounds of chaos around him. A Yellow walks in and checks on him. THe man gets up in considerable pain looks into his jacket and winces. He checks his pockets and finds a small bottle of vodka.
He races out of the bamboo onto a beach. We pan around to a crash site, where this man jumps in to help. He first helps pull a guy from wreckage and looks at his hurt leg. Then, he tends to pregnant girl (Claire) having contractions, and a asks large (Hurley) man to help. While those who helped the injured leg man, another man steps in front of the running Engine (Gary Troup), and it sucks him in exploding. A black woman (Rose) is having CPr performed on her by a young white man (Boone) not knowing what he is doing. Jack helps and distracts Boone to get him out of the way as he revives Rose.
The wing begins to give way and he runs for Hurley and Claire to get them to safety. The wing crashes igniting the remaining fuel in it. After the immediate crisis, He surveys the bodies and looks for a sewing kit.
He takes the kit and a white shirt he found into the jungle and gently removes his shirt. There is a bad cut on his back that needs to be stitched. A young woman walks by and Jack asks if she knows how to sew. She hesitates at first but then agrees to help. He hands her the vodka to cleanse her hands.
Back at the beach, we see a sinister looking fellow smoking at the Wreckage. The camera pans to the sunset and see various people coping with the day. Charlie and Sayid introduce each other and help build a signal fire.
Back at the out-patient ER, Kate is afraid to stitch him up. Jack tells her of his first surgery where he made a mistake. He was afraid, but he decided that to only let the fear in for 5 seconds.
Nightfalls and see a montage of different people as they deal with the circumstances.

Jack begins to explain the crash, the turbulence, dropping 200 ft. Kate wonders about his knowledge and we find out that Jack took lessons, but didn’t finish them. We learn that Jack blacked out, but Kate was awake up to the point the tailsection and the front broke off. He needs to find the transceiver. Kate thinks she may seen where it is because she saw smoke in the valley. Then we hear a monstrous howl in the Jungle and see trees crashing. After hearing the "monster" a woman says there is something familiar sounding about it. Now our losties, are shocked, confused and terrified.
FlashBack
A flight attendant (Cindy) checks on Jack’s drink. It is not strong enough, so she gives Jack an extra vodka which he pockets. He begins to get up when someone runs by him (Charlie) followed by two flight attendants. As he sits back down, there is turbulance. He reassures the Rose that it is normal. As he begins to saw that it will be over soon, the plane drops and masks fall.
Beach
Kate and Jack begin planning their mission. She needs different shoes. She scavenges for a pair of boots, and see Lockes who smiles with orange peel in his mouth (like Marlon Brandow in the Godfather). Jack tells a small group that is talking about monster that his is looking for the cockpit and Charlie volunteers to come along.
On the journey, we find out that Charlie was a Rock Star, and apparently still wants to be. In the distance, the yellow lab looks on.
Suddenly, a rain storm begins. Everyone runs for cover, except a bald man who seems to enjoy the rain. (Locke) As they are huddled together, they hear the sound again.
The Cockpit Party finds the front of the plane. Jack, Kate and Charlie make their way inside. In the cockpit, they find the pilot alive. It has been sixteen hours since the crash and the pilot explains that they lost the radio 6 hours into the flight. No one knew where they were, so they turned back to Fiji. They were a thousand miles off course when they hit the turbulence.
Jack asks about Charlie and Kate finds him the bathroom, with red eyes. Now, they hear the sound. The pilot looks out of the broken cockpit window and he is taken. Only a splatter of blood gives evidence of his fate.
The three make a run for it. Charlie gets caught by some roots. Jack goes back. Kate is alone and runs under some above ground roots to a Banyan Tree. She is terrified and lets the fear in for 5 seconds. As she steps out, Charlie catches up. He explains that "I was Dead," then Jack came for him.
The two find a pair of pilot’s wing next to a small pool of water from the rain. They see an erie reflection in the water and look up to see…
"The Pilot," says Jack. Neither Jack nor Charlie got a look at the monster. Charlie closes the episode with the last line, "How does something like that happen?"
