how did people with no flashforwards know when and where they'd die?


People were saying they were living past the date they were supposed to die, or how they were supposed to die a certain way. if they blacked out, how would they know? if they used mosaic, then that would mean someone would've had to had mention something about it at the exact moment the flashfoward occured, but that would seem rare but it happened for numerous people.

I don't actually remember instances of anyone knowing exactly when or where or how they were going to die. But I guess if someone was at a funeral during their FF or saw something else indicating a loved one had died, they might tell them and figure it out that way. Or maybe policemen working on a case knew and said something Also, I think many were just saying in general, they would not live past the FF day, because then they'd live longer than they were supposed to.

oh yeah... hmm... well, either they did know (from one of the sources i mentioned above) or they just knew they were gonna die soon and just wanted it over with or something or else it might be sloppy writing can't believe that though, i'm sure there's an explanation there somewhere...

also, don't i know you from a certain other board?

How much would you bet an explanation was pencilled in for season 2?

They all belonged to the "Blue Hand" society. So they all know each other by the Mozaic.

if your talking about demetri then if you would recall a lady phoned him and told him that he will die at that date then when demetri and mark went to hong kong, the lady that called demetri informed him and mark that it will be mark who will kill him(demetri) using mark's gun.

The best explanation or theory I can give for this belated question would be that if someone didn't have a "flashforward" when they blacked out, they found out in due time that most likely that meant they wouldn't be alive on "D-day". Therefore, like with the events we saw with Demitri, that person who did not have a "flashforward" would most likely of (a) went on Mosaic to share that they did not have one, (b) asked around to police stations, hospitals, friends, anyone really if they knew about their supposed death, or (c) someone came to them with information on their supposed death.

d) Some people could have gotten phony information on the date and events of their deaths by sick pranksters trolling the mosiac website. Though it was never mentioned but I could see that happen in reality.

I'm guessing through the Mosaic Project. People w/o flashforwards figured out pretty early on that they wouldn't be alive. Obviously some of their deaths were witnessed by people having flashforwards and later this information was collected
