The full message that appeared on the screen was "7418880 Electromagnetic Anomaly Detected". The plane crashed on 22, September 2004, which was also the date of the season premiere of "Lost". The Oceanic 6 referred to Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun and Aaron.

He found a Portuguese book entitled "Ardil-22" ("Catch-22 in English) in Naomi's bag.
10. A bit of calculation for this question.

Answer: 324

3 (4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42) = 3 x 108 = 324

Charles Widmore went to great lengths to hide the existence of the island from media. He bought a Boeing 777 fuselage. He also ordered his men to dig up 324 bodies from a cemetery in Thailand. He then had his men dumped the plane and bodies into the Sunda Trench to stage the plane crash.
