This would indicate that at somepoint a bomb had gone off and destroyed the statue in the original timeline anyway, so perhapse it wasnt the bomb that made the island sink at all but somthing else entierly.

My point there mate was the Foot being destroyed shows the island sank sometime after the Black Rock had appeared (the only time we've seen it complete I believe?).
Of course, the nuke could have been responsible for the Foot and we've been in some strange timeline since the start. But I suspect the Foot was destroyed in another way, which we may never find out. Maybe the statue was pulled down by those on the Black Rock after a betrayal, or to get Smokie out, or something like that. Maybe it was just old and fell down.
But if the nuke had taken out the statue, it would have taken out the Temple and the Barracks as well, which are, by my reckoning, closer to the Hatch / ground zero than the Foot.
I think the Bomb Not Going Off just doesn't hold up. Juliet says "It worked!" and everyone is back where they belong, but it does seem an ongoing discussion with people I know who watch the show. Most do not believe it based on the fact Jack and everyone didn't die when it exploded

I'm not so sure why people think the island wouldn't sink if nuked. It moves, which would imply it's not tied to the Earth's surface in an understoon geographical sense. Maybe it is just floating around on the sea

Having to spoiler everything in this thread is a right pain! We need two seperate threads
