Continuity mistake: When Charlie hears DriveShaft on the radio, his brother has his hand on the wing mirror in one shot but on Charlie in the next and vice versa. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: Charlie's list that we see several times in the episode is constantly changing in regards to the writing on the paper. Most noticeable is the word Time and I Heard. (00:11:20)
Continuity mistake: Alex gets handed her gun while she has bloody hands. She then proceeds to run to her boyfriend in the woods. When she arrived, her hands are clean. (00:19:00)
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.
