Blood is a wonderful thing (disgusting as that sounds). When we cut ourselves, our blood actually clumps together to form a clot, and this clot prevents further bleeding from the cut. Of course, this is pretty intuitive to most people, but what some don't realise is that blood can clot without a cut.
Without going into too much detail, the blood can clot when it is stationary. Therefore, if we were to sit on a long airplane flight without moving our legs, the blood would get pooled to our feet, and without movement, it may clot. The clot can then travel within the bloodstream to block arteries in the heart, or even the brain.
Hope this helps.

the process of clumping together of blood cells to form a clot. occurs when a laceration of the skin allows the escape of blood from an artery, vein, or capillary.

Clumping of dead cells and detrius, dead blood cells, platelets, cholosterol.
It's like mucus making clots (boogers) in your nose if you want more graphics.
