A lot of things were attracted by the magnet that I'm willing to bet wouldn't be attracted in real life. I think they're going wide on that interpretation. Besides, structural parts of the plane must have some steel in them, right?

Speaking of magnetism, Eko's cross did not react to the magnet, although it's been attracted before. I think it was a continuity error.

I wonder what it would be like for a person in an extreme magenetic field. Would you feel nothing, as Eko and Locke seemed to in the last moments?

Good catch on the Portuegese - I noticed it the "por favor" variation while watching it but completely forgot it today
