As I sat waiting through six, yes six, screaming children just to get a hair cut, I was able to do some profound thinking. Let's hope you didn't draw the same conclusions so that I can WOW you as well.
Last week's episode was called "Jughead," refering to the bomb that was on the island circa 1940s-70s. When Faraday inspects the bomb, his grand advice before flashing away is to bury it in concrete. Now jump back to Season 2, episode 3-ish. Jack and Sayid are in the Swan hatch in some crawl space checking out an area heavily covered with concrete. Sayid says last time he'd heard of concrete poured this thick was Chernobyl. Hurray! I figured out where the bomb went!
Now my big question, because I'm compelled to say the bomb is slightly more significant than those two isolated events, is how did the implosion of the hatch affect this weapon?

Great job connecting the dots from season 2. That is a very interesting thought that the island could be in danger because of the hatch implosion. Why would they put the bomb so close to the hatch I wonder? I don't think the Dharma people were the kind to take a short cut to save on concrete by burying it during Swan Station construction. Time will tell...
More importantly - the Swan station was a DHARMA construction. The bomb was a problem for Richard and the Others. Why was the bomb buried under the DHARMA station then? Did they come across a big cement pad and say "Hey look, someone already poured the footer for Station 6!"
