Mokulē‘ia Beach on the northwest side of Oʻahu is one of the plane-crash settings from the show — it’s the beach where Jack, Kate, Locke, and other Oceanic 815 survivors worked to save fellow passengers from the fuselage.

Crew members broke down a decommissioned Lockheed L-1011 jetliner and brought in the fake wreckage in 18 shipping containers for the filming of what was ABC’s most expensive pilot episodes to date, according to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Set dressers also purchased and scorched luggage and other passenger items for additional debris. And for the climactic scene when a wing crashes to the ground in a massive fireball, crew members suspended the wing 70 feet in the air with a crane.
