"You don't forget a whole island of people in eight years. Either they don't care, or they don't think it's safe. I don't for a minute believe that they don't want the land, money, insert desirable commodity here, so my guess is they haven't been able to figure out what happened here, and are too scared to come investigate.

If we change the timeline, then it won't matter because the chances of this all happening again are pretty much nullified. Right?"
