Exactly. As Red Brooklyn pointed out earlier, "whatever happened, happened". The only part of the entire series that was a figment of anyone's imagination was the flash sideways of the last season, and that was a figment of
everyone's imagination. It was the purgatory that they created together so that as they died at different times, they could help each other find their way to what lies beyond.
Jack did not die in the plane crash. He died from the wounds he received while fighting the Man In Black. What happened, happened.
