The Swan, a.k.a
The Hatch, was first introduced when
Boone accidentally dropped a flashlight, and it hit the metal of
the hatch door.
Locke and
Boone decided to keep this discovery a secret from the gother survivors, and they went back to the site every day to excavate
the hatch.
Locke and
Boone tried to open the door many times, but failed. Many survivors soon found out about the existence of
the hatch. Eventually,
Locke,
Jack,
Kate, and
Hurley successfully opened
the hatch by using dynamite from the Black Rock. Just before the explosion,
Hurley saw the same numbers he used for the lottery on the door, 4 8 15 16 23 42. The inside of the door had the word QUARANTINE on it. In the second season, they went into
the hatch, and discovered
Desmond. The Swan had everything that was needed to live, a living area with a bunk-bed, record player, a bookcase, a ping pong table and more. There was a kitchen, with a sink, a washer, and dryer. There was also a bathroom with a shower, a pantry full of food, a gun vault, and the computer room.
Desmond showed them an orientation video. The video, with
Dr. Marvin Candle, said that the Swan is used for electromagnetic research. He says there was an 'incident', and that ever bookcase, and grabs "Our Mutual Friend". Inside was
a key. He goes back into the computer room and tells
Locke "I'll see you in another life brother". Then the countdown reaches zero, and a system failure happens. Metal start to fly everywhere, and
Locke tells
Mr. Eko "I was wrong".
Desmond turns the fail safe key, which causes a discharge. The sky turns a bright violet color. The discharge disrupted all the electronics on
the island. In season three, the
fate of
Desmond,
Locke, and
Mr. Eko was discovered, and they had all survived the implosion. The clothes were blown off of
Desmond. The Swan was destroyed, and only a crater remains.
