Rising in so short a time." The producers have talked a few times about time moving differently; the tsunami having an effect when they have only been on the island a few weeks would indicate that time is moving faster in the "normal" world than on The Island.

  1. Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc).
  2. More appropriate for another article.
  3. Illogical or previously disproven.
  4. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article.
  5. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments.

The Tsunami and Indian Ocean Earthquake of December 26, 2004 will have an effect on the Island. While it hasn't yet occurred on the show, it happened in real life and will likely factor into the show, as hinted by the producers in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. [1]

  • The Island is off the coast of Indonesia. This would help explain how Eko's Nigerian plane crashed on the Island. This would also put it in the wake of the Tsunami.
  • At 7:34 in "Whatever the Case May Be" (Season One), it shows the ocean suddenly coming onto the beach and washing stuff away. Sayid remarks, "This can't be normal. The tide shifting so suddenly. Rising in so short a time." The producers have talked a few times about time moving differently; the tsunami having an effect when they have only been on the island a few weeks would indicate that time is moving faster in the "normal" world than on The Island.
    • It seems very unlikely that the producers managed to write, film, and edit this into the aired show only 11 days after the event.
  • On September 22, 2004, Oceanic flight 815 crashes on the island. From that day it's 95 days until the Tsunami and Indian Ocean Earthquake occur. The episode Through the Looking Glass (ending of season 3) take place between day 92 and 93 after the crash. In that timeline the Tsunami and Indian Ocean Earthquake would not yet have occurred. If it's implemented in the show it's likely to happen sometime in the beginning of season 4.
