The biggest takeaway I got from the whole wreckage and whether or not they were already dead was Jack's dad: "It was all real."
They made sure to show Jack coming to terms with his death and letting go, and they also made a concerted effort to show the plane passing over him as they died. What was the purpose?
Well, when you combined the way they made sure to show the plane going over Jack and made sure to show the wreckage at the end, I'm left to think one thing: Lost wanted to make it clear that the plane carrying Jack, Kate, Richard, Miles and the pilot didn't actually make it and that it indeed was, "all real."
I think it was their way of tying up any loose ends and killing the notion that what Jack saw was just some kind of dream for his comfort to let go. It was a reunion not a dream. It was all real.
