For events before the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, see pre-crash timeline
Oceanic Airlines flight 815 took off from Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, Australia, bound for Los Angeles. The flight was due to take 13 hours, but 6 hours into the flight, the plane lost radio and radar contact. It flew for a further 2 hours before breaking up into 3 pieces and crashing onto a "deserted" island in the Pacific Ocean.
This is the timeline of the survivors from that fateful flight.
