This man has had to endure the most horrendous things in his very very short 50 years. I winced watching that....poor poor michael...what a brave man.
"I remember enjoying the ride to the hospital because I never thought I'd ride in an ambulance with the sirens wailing. It was one of those things I had always wanted to do when I was growing up. "
^^^ And didn't he also have teeth problems during Dangerous tour?
really :thinking:
were did you hear about that? :thinking:
I was reading some old articles from 1993 today...
Soon as I got home and cut on the tv they announced they had some footage. When they first announced it I thought it was going to be footage from the front, similar to that grainy shot we've seen all these years...so when I saw the footage from the rear, I couldn't believe my eyes! Not only was it hard to watch but the first thing that came to mind was how worse this ordeal had been than we were all led to believe. I then wondered if Michael ever saw this footage for himself after the incident. It was traumatizing just watching this; I can only imagine what it must have been like for him to have actually experienced it. Omfg!
I think so, too. And I agree with others who said it drives the point home that this incident started MJ on prescription drugs. I remember back in the day it was said that before this accident Michael would rarely take an aspirin unless it was absolutely necessary... and he had actually tried NOT to take anything while he was in the hospital for the Pepsi accident. However, the pain was too much so he relented...which is understandable. I mean, LAWD, the whole back of his head was lit up!! A Tylenol wasn't going to make THAT feel better. I would've been popping pills like skittles myself. Just seeing the footage I have a headache.
Even tho it feels extremely intrusive seeing Michael's scalp like that it brings a whole new level of understanding for what he's gone thru and had to deal with in his life. The crap this man has had to go thru most people wouldn't have lasted as long. Gotta say my level of respect and compassion went up a few notches after seeing this footage, but it also made me very sad becuz it feels like a serious violation of privacy. And it's a bit depressing to know for as good a person as Michael was, he just couldn't escape hardships in life.
WHY release this video now?? Those @ssholes, seriously. It was so painful to watch. Poor Michael, he was hurt so bad. :no:
Don King got the Pepsi deal. Mike wanted the tour to be sponsored by Quaker Oats. But Pepsi offered more money, and Don is all about the money.I wish that damn Pepsi advert had never been shot - it was in the last take of a four day shoot Michael was injured! I'm upset today thinking of his pain.
i dont know why, but when i try to download the video, i got 5 files...

I think its time to close this thread..i hate the idea that some of these control freak mods delete threads of NEW MICHAEL MUSIC but keep oopen a thread that eveyone knows about and has been discussed to it's fullest..it should end on this page with the last great thing on it being the pictures by eunice of michael visiting a burn victim...that is the true message people should have after seeing this video and i don't like the way so many people have visited this thread when it ultimately should have never needed to exist...we are adding our logs to the fire by keeping it open and i am one who has shared his views on it like others..enough is enough now...lets close this one please..and put our words onto better threads.
anyone with authority please consider..thanks
