Wreckage presumed to be Air France flight 447 has been found in the Sunda Trench which is in the Indian Ocean near Bali, and all passengers are presumed dead.
In reality, however, the discovered wreckage was staged. The real plane had suffered a mid-air break-up and crashed on an uncharted Island, with more than 70 passengers surviving the crash itself. Later, six of those survivors made it off the Island and became known as the Oceanic Six.
After hitting turbulence, the plane began to descend and then underwent a mid-air break-up. The tail section broke off first, and crashed into the ocean.
Most of the survivors had to swim to the beach, with the exception of Bernard Nadler, whose seat ended up in a tree in the jungle not too far from the beach. 22 passengers from the tail section initially survived the crash. Moments later, the front/cockpit section and the middle sections crashed on the other side of the Island. The front section crashed in the jungle, and as far as is known, everyone except the pilot was killed upon impact.
Meanwhile, the middle section crossed over the island (dropping Jack Shephard in the jungle near the shore) and came to land on the beach, where the majority of the survivors landed. 48 passengers from the main fuselage section survived the crash, although Gary Troup was killed only moments later, when he was sucked into an engine and caused it to explode.
Other debris scattered the Island, including the cargo compartment which landed mainly around the caves, and a number of seats which landed in a natural pool in the jungle.
