On this day in 2004, Oceanic Flight 815 disappeared enroute from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, CA.

The LOST series on ABC about the survivors of Flight 815 was one of the most successful and award-winning TV shows in history. Each week the survivors worked together in an attempt to stay alive as they discovered more and more bizarre mysteries about their island home, and as we are enlightened by the character’s lives before the crash.
