| Season(s): | 1 |
| Episode: | "Day 1: 12:00am-1:00am" |
Flight 221 was a 747 airplane flying from Berlin to Los Angeles during Day 1. Passengers onboard included photographer Martin Belkin, the assassin known as Mandy, Paul Coulander and Georgia Coulander.
The plane had a capacity of at least 349 passengers, as well as 12 crew. The plane was separated into sections - 282 seats in coach class, 55 in the main deck (first class seating), and 12 in the world business class upper deck. When the plane took off on the day before the primary, it was at full capacity of passengers. ("Day 1: 1:00am-2:00am", "3:00am-4:00am", "4:00am-5:00am")
Day 1
Flight 221 took off from Berlin before Day 1 and was scheduled to land in Los Angeles shortly after 1:00am. Less than an hour before landing, Martin Belkin called Patty Brooks, David Palmer's campaign manager, to confirm the breakfast gathering in the morning. Mandy, seated next to him, started up a conversation with Belkin and the two started flirting and drinking heavily. Eventually they wound up having sex in the bathroom, where Mandy covertly stole his wallet, containing his I.D. Mandy moved to the exit of the plane and murdered a flight attendant. She pulled a concealed bomb out from inside a fire extinguisher and detonated it seconds after blowing the door open and parachuting to the Mojave Desert. ("12:00am-1:00am")
The wreckage of the aircraft spread debris over a large area, starting brush fires and making the task of locating survivors impossible. It was later established that 257 people aboard the plane, mostly citizens of Eastern Europe, were killed. ("1:00am-2:00am", Findings at CTU)
