Post by Fred EllisGo back and watch the episode 'Deux Ex Machina'. As Locke crawls into
the plane he has to move several boxes and crates off of Boone and out
of the way to get to him. I'm sure anyone of them could of crushed
Boone's leg.
Oh, I'm not questioning whether or not his leg was crushed. I'm sure
it was and by the plane or the boxes in the plane...thus confirming
that it's not an illusion of any sort.
I just think Jack's drama queen tirade about how not knowing this in
the first place (because Locke lied) was a rationalization. The reason
Jack couldn't save Boone was because he was dealing with very complex
injuries using only the most primitive medicine...and of course, being
Jack, he thought that was all his fault, so he tried to shift the
"blame" to Locke.
