Continuity mistake: When Michael thinks Jin has set fire to his raft, he punches him in the face a couple of times. When Jin is leaving Sun later on, his face is miraculously unmarked. There is no sign of any swelling or bruising. He doesn't look like a guy who's just been punched in the face. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer says to Sun about lying, his hair is windswept. When the shot changes it's hanging freely. (00:27:50)
Continuity mistake: When Jin is packing to leave the cave, his backpack is wide open and unzipped when he swings it onto his right shoulder and then carries the fishing net. After a brief cut to Sun shouting in English, Jin is walking away carrying the net, and the backpack is still on his shoulder, only now it is zipped closed. (00:32:15)
Visible crew/equipment: When Hurley is at the new house, after his mom hurts her ankle, he reaches into the car window to get the cell phone. When he begins to dial, the cameraman's arm moving about is reflected in the back chrome of the side view mirror. (00:12:10)
Continuity mistake: When Hurley returns and gives the battery to Jack, Hurley says "She says hey". Then it cuts to a close-up of Sayid and we can see the bag's strap going over his shoulder. When it cuts the strap is gone. (00:35:25)
Factual error: When Hurley is running through 'Sydney Airport', he runs past a sign that reads 'Kamehameha', which is the name of a Hawaiian king. This sign shouldn't be there if Hurley is in Sydney Airport.
Continuity mistake: When Jack speaks to Michael and Jin, as they build the raft, and then when he walks up the beach and inquires about Sawyer's trouble with his head, the backpack that Jack carries on his back is nylon, black/green with white trim. Yet, when Sawyer asks, "Sensitivity to light, that bad?" the backpack is suddenly transformed into solid black leather, of an entirely different style. Then, in following shots it jumps back and forth. (00:16:40)
Continuity mistake: When telling Boone about being in a wheelchair on the flight, John is leaning against a tree with his backpack off. The shot changes and now his backpack is back on. (00:23:10)
Continuity mistake: Boone explains who Terresa was and he has a bag strap across his chest. (The strap is the same colour as his shirt but is distinguishable by the lack of wrinkles in his shirt.) During camera changes, this bag strap disappears without him removing it. (00:25:00)
Continuity mistake: When Jack gives Sawyer the glasses, he walks off and Sawyer is looking up to Jack. When the shot changes, he is now looking down at the ground. (00:29:10)
Continuity mistake: When Boone looks through the window of the plane, his face/head is through the broken window from the inside, but a good distance away in the far shot. (00:30:10)
Visible crew/equipment: When Boone climbs up the vines toward the plane, in the first wide shot there is a rather conspicuous round CG blur at Boone's left hip that moves as he moves. Then, in some following wide shots the black stunt belt at Boone's waist is perfectly visible as he makes his way up. In Boone's close-ups no such aids are on his body. (00:30:35)
Continuity mistake: Boone throws a statue out of the plane on to the ground by Locke. When the statue smashes, it's in the middle of a small circle that is cleared of leaves and vegetation. However, when Locke picks up the pieces, the small circle of cleared ground is gone. (00:32:10)
Continuity mistake: When Boone tosses the statue out of the plane, in the close-up the entire statue shatters, and the heroine bags spill out as the head flies off to the side. But in the following shot, Locke picks up a large unbroken piece - the head and torso are intact with some bags still inside, and even that piece changes in the next shot. (00:32:50)
Chosen answer: None of the main characters died in the plane crash. Many died on the island after the crash (Jack, Charlie, Sun, Jin, Daniel, Juliet, others), some lived on the island for an apparently long time after the crash (Hurley, Ben, Bernard, Rose) but some lived lives off the island after the crash (Sawyer, Kate, Claire, Miles, Aplert, and Lapidus). Remember that Christian tells Jack that "time has no meaning here," (in Purgatory). When everyone meets at the church, they are at the end of their lives however long that may have been and will now "move on" together. They look like they did on the island because that is the way they best remember each other.

That has to be the clearest explanation of the ending I've ever read.
