Escape Hatch
We saw in this last episode that the medical bunker had a small door labled “Escape Hatch”.
Should we view the Escape Hatch a similar way to Emergency Exit? And if so, why didn’t they just call it the Emergency Exit?
Also, if it exits to the outside I don’t see the reason. The doors that Claire and the group walked through were about 20 feet away from the Escape Hatch. Seems awfully redundant to have 2 sets of doors leading outside that are right next to each other.
The Escape Hatch door was also very small, about 2/3rd’s of the size of a regular door. It almost reminds me of a laundry shoot - you open the door and slide down. Which actually brings me to my real point:
I think that the bunkers are connected underground. I also believe that there are additional points of entry/exit on to the surface of the island from these underground tunnels. That would explain why the “Others” don’t appear to leave tracks (they don’t travel on the surface very often). My guess is that they can travel pretty quick as well, meaning that the tunnels are wide enough for vehicles to be used.
Finally, the real reason why I believe this theory is that if the “Others” are screwing around with some disease that is air-borne my guess is that they would want a system that would allow them to live 100% underground if necessary. However, at this point it is all just speculation.
