Here's what we know about the global blackouts on ABC's new hit, FlashForward:

• They took place at 11 a.m. PST on the same day;
• Everyone on the planet, except for two people known so far, saw visions of themselves on April 29, 2010;
• The blackouts lasted for a total of 137 seconds.

This week's episode appears to focus on the final fact listed above, as it's titled 137 Sekunden; the latter is the German word for "seconds."

In the clip below, Mark Benford stumbles upon evidence of a prisoner in Germany that claims to know why the flash forwards lasted for this amount of time.
