TruWest Airlines Flight 462 was a routine flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix, during the earliest stages of The Outbreak.

Cause of Crash
The majority of the flight had no incidents, but when Flight 462 was descending towards Phoenix Airport, a passenger onboard died, reanimated into a zombie and infected the flight attendant and then another passenger, while trying to put the infected passenger down, the air marshal accidently shot at the window, making it crack and break, forcing the airplane to depressurize and loose control. Eventually, moments before crashing, the plane broke apart mid-flight, over the coast of California, with the front and middle of the plane landing on the Los Angeles shore and the tail section landing in The Pacific Ocean. Of the 148 people on board, at least six are known to have survived the initial crash.
