LOST FOUND
Experts 'crack' riddle of TV island
By John Ferguson
MAPMAKERS believe they have figured out the location of the desert island in cult TV serial Lost. The Channel 4 drama features plane crash survivors stranded on a strange island in the middle of the Pacific.
They don't know where they are but experts at the Collins World Atlas reckon it's the Line Islands.
The location - and even the existence - of the island has been hotly debated by fans.
A popular theory says they are in the Bermuda Triangle - but that's in the Atlantic. However, Atlas editor-in-chief Mick Ashworth is convinced the largely uninhabited island chain fits the bill.
He said: "We know the characters are on a flight from Sydney to LA that takes about 14 hours and covers 7500 miles.
"After six hours of flying, which is when according to the pilot the signal was lost, the craft would be between Fiji and Hawaii
