They also address the island being destroyed, by showing it at the bottom of the ocean. The statue is still there, the Dharma initiative is still there, etc.
That's because those things were built before 1977. It's on the bottom of the ocean from 1977 onwards though.

The only people who would have been on the island at that time are Ben Linus, and his father. It's specifically addressed though, that Roger Linus was a workman for the DI on the island, with Ben, but he decided to leave his job.
They returned back to the mainland before the bomb went off, which is when the alternate reality began to unfold.
Im still not totally convinced the bomb is why the island is at the bottom of the ocean, though I think it is the most likely answer. Roger Linus shot Sayid the day the bomb went off, did he have enough time to get off the island?

Also, Widmore and Eloise were both on the Island as well, and in the new reality, they are married and living happily off the island. Did they have enough time to get off the island too?
