There's an underwater hatch around somewhere, so I think they were still within the island's range. I'm thinking that it radiates out a far bit--like, to where Widmore's freighter was--because of how it disappeared when Locke turned the wheel. Also, I think Jack spoke the truth, not only as he knew it, but he hit on one of the key concepts of "the game"--and he actually formed a pretty logical, convincing, Jack-like argument to back it up, too.
So, in the end, what does this say about Sayid, that he was willing to sacrifice himself? Was he just paying back Jack for saving him? He certainly didn't get to reunite with Nadia or Shannon....
And does anyone think that these actions will have an impact on their sideways lives? Much like Desmond running over Locke may have been influenced by him getting shoved down the well.
Was it Richard who wired the plane with explosives? Remember that Isabella told him he had to stop MIB from leaving the island.
As for Ben, I have to think about where he went. Didn't he get on Sawyer's boat with Claire?
