Yes, you read that headline right: an Oceanic Airlines plane is going to crash on Wisteria Lane.
One of the big ratings stunts on Desperate Housewives this season will be a plane crash that happens in the ladies' neighborhood that will affect everyone on the show (when a plane crashes in your neighborhood that's bound to happen). But a source at ABC tells E! that the plane will be an Oceanic plane, in a nod to Lost. No, it won't be the same plane, Oceanic 815, just a plane from the same airline. So don't expect time travel or polar bears running around Gabrielle's lawn. Although a weird crossover like that might be fascinating to see. Of course, I wonder how this billboard from FlashForward could possibly be right if this happens.
This isn't the first time the airline has shown up on a non-ABC show. The pic above is from FOX's The War At Home.

i'm from a suburb of buffalo, ny and the only thing this 'plot' reminds me of is the fatal plane crash that landed on a house in clarence center several months ago killing 50 people. so, not cool seeing this.

This is kind of a huge spoiler that I didn't want to read in a headline, a while ago Ausiello had a thing about this but I just searched by it, also Desperate Housewives IS an ABC show.

Exactly! Oceanic is that "generic" airline name used for many years well before "Lost" ever came on the air.

"This isn't the first time the airline has shown up on a non-ABC show." I'm confused by this statement - Desperate Housewives is an ABC Studios production that airs on ABC.
(Perhaps you meant to say "The airline has also shown up on non-ABC shows in the past.")
