All sorts of fun things happen in this scene. For the first time, we find out the name of the pilot – Seth Norris. By the way, the inset picture of him with a mustache cracks me up. They clearly pulled an old file photo for the news report, and that is just a funny mustache. The toll-free number on the TV screen actually works. If you dial 1-888-548-0034, you will hear a recording from Oceanic Air. It actually sounds very real – it tells you when you can call the coroner and how to schedule grief counseling sessions. The recording mentions forthcoming updates, so it’s possible that there might be something new in a couple of days. And last but not least, we find out Frank was supposed to be the pilot that day. I wonder why he wasn’t. Too drunk? Sick? Evil manipulations?
