Oceanic-Air Website Info
For all those who are technically inclined we have a unique contribution to the blog from faithful reader Scott J.
To start - go to the Oceanic-Air website linked on the blog. There you can find a seating chart of the flight. The page contains a bunch of Flash files that are activated by clicking on certain seats. Scott was able to decompile the Flash files and extract the Images and Audio. Clicking on the file name you will see the image the Scott captured.
Easter Eggs I’ve found so far:
egg_kate_mugshot.swf
egg_kate_plane.swf
egg_charlie.swf
egg_charlie_claire.swf
egg_marshall_card.swf … Image2
egg_locke.swf … Image1 … Image2 … Image3 … Image4 … Image5
egg_jack_url.swf
egg_jack_bottle.swf … Image1 … Image2
egg_shannon_map.swf
egg_shannon_passport.swf
egg_boone.swf
egg_rose.swf
egg_michelle.swf
I can’t seem to get directly to these files. If you try to access any of the easter eggs directly you get redirected to the Seating Chart page. I figure it is looking for something in the request, like a referer. It is possible to spoof this field, but I haven’t done it yet. However, I believe I have all of the easter eggs in my internet cache, so I will reverse-engineer those files as i get time.
I broke down the main flash movie from the Seating Chart and found the following resources
Classes (Source Code/Action Script)

Debugger.as

_Image3_003.swf
_Image4_004.swf
_Image5_005.swf
_Image6_006.swf
_Image7_007.swf
There is a function in Map.as called theyllNeverFindThisFunction(). When executed it appears to load the file ethanrom_game.swf. An anagram of ETHAN ROM is OTHER MAN. If you place the letters in that order you get a clip from the season one finale where they take Walt. After the clip completes, the seating chart comes back and some wierd things happen. I haven’t taken the time to figure that out yet.
A few other interesting bits from the site
1. In the html on the there is the following comment:
I would like to inform my financial institutions that I will be late making my September mortgage payment as I am STRANDED ON A FRIGGIN’ ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!
Please have the Government send a search team immediately. OR don’t. Shouldn’t all the taxes I pay cover an expense like that?
2. If you enter THE and BOY in the From and To fields on the Quick Search page, a flash movie ” smoke.swf” plays and one of three images appear next to the bottom right corner of the Important Announcement box. The images are draggable so you can move them accross the screen to get a better look, or you can link directly to them using the urls below:

http://www.oceanic-air.com/images/navi_bottom_shadow.jpg
http://www.oceanic-air.com/images/navi_right_shadow.jpg
3. There seems to be two sets of text behind the Important Announcement Box as well. I can’t get to the first set, but the second appears when you mouse over the last paragraph that reads “encouraged to contact their travel agent”. I copied the text below for your convenience.
I survived a horrific plane crash and am stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to my parents.
This text can also be found as a comment on the Track Flight page.
Thanks again Scott for your work on this. Please keep us posted with any future findings!
