I wasn't able to get a clear screen shot, but I think I counted 10 (not counting Claire). I think there were 6 on one side of the plane and 4 on the other.

Hiro, Mohinder, Traci, Parkman, Peter

plus one guy that flew out still with a bag on his head

There was a woman and a guy they showed, but even that only gives us 8, so we have some new abilities for Peter I guess.

Peter, Hiro, Claire, Matt, Mohinder, a redheaded woman and two people who flew out of the plane. Don't know who "Traci" is, but you forgot Tracy Strauss. I like her name, by the way.

wow, you said the same people I did - hmmm - Traci is Tracy/Niki - that and my friend actually spells Traci with an "i" so I always default to that I guess.

I only think one capture special flew out - but was thinking perhaps one of the remaining was Sparrow Redhouse.

I am still stumped on the total number though and there was a guy with his hood taken off as well - sitting near Traci

I'd say about 9-11. And that would be a good way to introduce Sparrow.

I think I counted eleven, not including Claire. Also, agreed, a very cool way to introduce sparrow (though to me it looked like Maya. That, while being pathetic and something the fanbase screams out for no more of, is more plausible)

Maya and Hiro don't even have abilities anymore. I don't think it was Maya, because they would have made a point of showing her chest somehow.

I don't understand why they got Hiro

- Nathan didn't know that hiro is powerless now
- Nathan never found out if Maya has a ability and he saw her only as mohinders victim once before she went away so she is safe from him (written out already, let her be).
- I saw there Mohinder, Hiro, Peter, Tracy, Matt, a Darkhaired woman, a Blond man, one that flew out with the head still covered and under drugs (I think its the blond woman from the set pictures).
That makes 8 persons. The other one that flew out was one of the guards so he doesn't count.
If there are more then we will probably see some of them dead due to the crash in the next episode or maybe getting introduced somehow.

Lets hope he has the ability to fly.

Whoever the woman with dark hair was, she definitely wasn't Maya (thank you, Tim K!) This lady's nose is all wrong for her to be Maya. She either is an extra who dies in the plane crash- or she's a new character. I'm hoping this is Sparrow Redhouse.

off-topic
what's this Sparrow's special ability
anyone knows?

We don't even know that she's Sparrow.

And, no. Nobody knows.

Sparrow Redhouse on heroeswiki. The ptb bring Sparrow's name up here and there, just often enough to create a mystique, but they've never actually introduced her on screen.

Perhaps?

agreed, don't know who it is.

If she is Sparrow, I hope she has a really great superpower.

(Didn't Hiro say something to Sparrow in an alleyway back in season one in the episode where it was 5 years in the future? I thought he called her by name and then told her to hide or run or something like that.)

that was in the corresponding GN String Thoery, I believe, that shows what F_Hiro did before making that famous time jump in S1.
