On this day in 2004, the Touchstone Television show Lost first found its way to television screens and audiences first learned about how Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid air and crashed on a Pacific island—
its survivors forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive.
But the survivors soon discovered that the island held many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, housing and hatches with electricity and hot and cold running water, and plenty of other surprises. The band of friends, family, enemies, and strangers must continue to work together against all odds if they want to stay alive. But as they discover during their journey, nothing is what it seems, and danger and mystery loom behind every corner, with even those they thought could be trusted turning against them.
