Others that have gotten off the Island but are not in the Oceanic 6: Ben, Frank, Desmond, Walt, and Locke.

• Jack said to Kate that he is tired of all the lies. ("Through The Looking Glass")
• Hurley claims to have never seen Ana-Lucia. ("The Beginning of the End")
• Jack went to visit Hurley, and asks if he has revealed any secrets. ("The Beginning of the End")
• Jack lies about what happened on the island during his testimony at Kate's trial. This includes saying 8 people survived the plane crash. However, there were 71 initial survivors of the crash. He also says the plane crashed in the ocean, and that Kate rescued everyone. Only the tail section landed in the ocean. ("Eggtown")
• Kate's mother says "I want to see my grandson," which implies that Aaron is being passed off as Kate's child, not Claire's. ("Eggtown")
• The date of death on Jin's grave is September 22, 2004. This was the date of the crash, but we know he was alive on the island for months after this. ("Ji Yeon")

The Press Conference:

Not long after being rescued, Oceanic Airlines held a press conference about the events that have happened. Karen Decker, the representative of Oceanic Airlines said that the plane crashed off shore the island of Membata. There, Kate gave birth to Aaron. On day 103, a typhoon washed ashore a boat, living them supplies and a raft. On day 108, they are rescued on the Island of Sumba. The survivors took questions from the press. Jack says the 8 people escaped, using life jackets and seat cushions to float. One of the questions, asked to Sayid, was if there was a possibility of other survivors, to which he replies "absolutely not".

On the enhanced version of "There's No Place Like Home: Part 1", Jack says that the three survivors that died on the Island were Boone, Libby, and Charlie.


The Real Story:

Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, and Hurley were the four people Frank rescued from the Island using the helicopter. Sawyer jumped off the helicopter, because it did not have enough fuel to carry all the weight. Sun, Jin, and Aaron, were among several other survivors who were taken to the Kahana. Desmond, who previously had arrived on the ship warned that there was a bomb on the boat. The helicopter is quickly refueled and Frank takes off, taking Jack, Kate, Sun, Sayid, Hurley, Desmond, and Aaron. Sun pleads that they land and take Jin, who appeared on deck after helping Michael freeze the explosives. Frank does not land, and the Kahana explodes, presumably killing the people on board. Jack tells Frank to take them back to the Island, but Ben, who was in the Orchid, manages to move the island, leaving the helicopter no place to land. It crash lands in the ocean, and the eight people survive, and wait for rescue in a life raft.

Later they see a boat in the distance, and are spotted. The ship, called the Searcher, is carrying Penelope Widmore. Before they are taken on board, Jack tells everyone that they must lie about everything that has happened to them, the advice Locke gave to him. Desmond and Penny spot each other, reunite for the first time in over 3 years. A week later, the Oceanic 6 take the raft and sail to Sumba, where they are rescued.
