Meet Frank Lapidus

Here's Frank Lapidus, the pilot. Apparently, he was supposed to be flying 815 on that fateful day in 2004. When we first see him, he's in Eleuthera, The Bahamas. He's at Caribbean Dreams: Island Travels and Tours. Also included is a shot of the plane in the fish tank.

Polar bear bones & Dharma collar

Here's the polar bear bones that Charlotte was eager to see in Tunisia, though she seemed much more interested in the Dharma collar she found next to the bones. Polar bears in Africa, hmm.

Meet Charlotte Staples Lewis

Thanks to Mr. Benjamin Linus for the information. We now know more about her background that some of our main characters.

Le Journal de Tunisie (Tunisian newspaper)

Here's the newspaper that Charlotte reads about flight 815 being found. I'll translate the front page best I can with a free translator (I think it's in French). I can't make out the date or parts of the text. If anyone can figure it out, let me know.

815: Retrouvé! = 815: Found!
le lavage de cerveaux en liberté = the washing of brains in freedom (something about brainwashing I think)
mobilisation des ??????? = mobilization of ?????? (can't make out the rest of the text)
contre le tout anglais = against the English whole
philosophie, une oeuvre originale à détacher = philosophy, an original work to detach
