The plane left New York in daylight and travels approximately 1,300 miles to St. George, a fictional island in the Caribbean (by the description, not St. George, Florida). The cruising speed of a 747 is just over 500 miles an hour. Counting ascent and descent, this is a trip of about three hours.When the plane goes down and the passengers begin to assess the situation and injuries are being treated, and around twenty minutes of story-time has passed, the doctor checks on the pianist. As he does so, he passes a daylight clock, which features a scrolling backlit map. The map shows it to be noon over central Australia. This is approximately ten hours behind the location of the crash. The plane clearly does not take off when at approximately 6:00 p.m., this would bring us to around 9:00 p.m. The plane is shown to crash shortly after dusk. According to the map it is actually 2:00 a.m. local time.
