According to Ralph, speaking of the pilot, "He must have flown off after he dropped us. He couldn't land here. Not in a plane with wheels." Apparently the pilot had ejected the 'passenger tube' containing the boys, which then crash landed on the island. According to Piggy, who said that he was sitting by the window as they were descending to the island... "I saw the other part of the plane. There were flames coming out of it." The passenger tube caused the scar in the jungle and was later dragged out to sea by the storm... "there must have been some kids still in it."
None of them.
The plane crash in "Lord of the Flies" symbolizes the boys' descent from civilization into savagery. It represents the loss of order, authority, and the entrance into a world of chaos and violence. It also serves as a metaphor for the breakdown of societal norms and human nature under extreme circumstances.

nobody knows
a plane crash and it may have been hit by a bomb
There isn't one :/ It's sort of all about boys who are in a plane crash and get stranded on an island....In the end one of them is murdered by the others........
The boys were travelling on a plane. The "passenger tube" of this plane was ejected during a storm because the plane was attacked. The "passenger tube" then crash landed on the island but was soon dragged out to sea by the storm, with many of the boys still on board.
the boys believe their plane was shot down by a fighter plane, since they are in the midst of World War II.
In the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the plane crashes on a deserted island due to an unspecified accident. After the crash, the plane wreckage is left scattered and abandoned on the island, symbolizing the boys' severed ties to civilization.
they aren't fleeing... their plane was shot down over an island and they were stranded.
The scar in the jungle was caused by the impact of the 'passenger tube' containing the boys, which crashed on the island and was shortly afterwards dragged out to sea by a storm. The 'scar' symbolises the damage inflicted on the natural world by mankind and foreshadows the destruction of the entire island by fire at the end of the book.
Yes, it is based on a real plane crash during the world war where boys lived on an island and only a few ever survived.
