Bomano

Bomano was an island in the south Pacific Ocean. It was intended to be the site of a hydrogen bomb test before the test's cancellation. Buildings and supplies left behind were later used by the college student survivors of a plane crash on the island. It was roughly 1000 miles from any airplane route and equally distant from any shipping routes.
==History==
=== Usage by the United States ===
Hannichek stated the island was intended by the Atomic Energy Commission to be used as a test site for a hydrogen bomb, because of its isolation. but the tests didn't go ahead because of wind conditions. The dummies, vehicles, buildings, and supplies were left behind. (TV: Pilot)
=== Plane crash ===
Decades later, a flight from Mindoro Airport to Manila crashed on the island, stranding representative of the American consul to Manila Hannichek and 40 students whom had been on an international cultural exchange tour. Political controversies abroad caused by the students had been cause for Hannichek to order the students returned to the United States, but the plane crash ended the possibility. An athlete determined to prevent the return home of fellow student Eugene Washington destroyed a fire lit by Hannichek, preventing an overflying plane from sighting them. (TV: Pilot)
