How did you find out Michael Jackson and/or Farrah Fawcett died? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. showpup (131)   ranked 2,091 out of 35,530 in people7 months ago

I was just curious how fast the internet and news travels. How did you find out about Michael Jackson's death?
I found out he had been rushed to the hospital via the ABC Breaking News email alerts I'm signed up for. It came through about the same moment I got one alerting of the death of forever beautiful Farrah Fawcett.
I learned of Michael Jackson's death by reading a post sent through to a yahoo list I'm on for DOGS of all things. As if that wasn't enough, I had two phone calls within an hour asking the same question - "Did you hear that Michael Jackson died?!". To which I retorted "Yes, did you hear that Farrah Fawcett died as well?" I was saddened by their response. "Who's Farrah Fawcett?":(

Just curious, If I could find out on a DOG list, how did you find out?...

I found out the news on Twitter actually. I always log on in the morning around 5 ish or 6 ish and I would read news updates and stuff like that. It's faster to get news on Twitter, but I do read up the news on Microsoft, Yahoo and Google as well. Thanks for this discussion..;)


myLot reputation of 93/100. showpup (131)   ranked 2,091 out of 35,530 in people  7 months ago

I'm surprised I didn't see more of it on Twitter, actually. I'm on there all the time reading those tweets and have close to 1,000 followers. Odd now that you mention this.
PS.. anyone want to find me on Twitter, I'm 'showpup' on there as well. http://www.twitter.com/showpup

I was at work. I saw the news about Farrah on the internet in the morning. Around 4:30 CST someone sent me an e-mail aobut Michael Jackson. I immediately thought it was a hoax, then I went on-line to find that he had been rushed to the hospital. It was too much for one day!


myLot reputation of 93/100. showpup (131)   ranked 2,091 out of 35,530 in people  7 months ago

I thought the news of Michael Jackson's death was a hoax, too.
I knew Farrah Fawcett was very ill with cancer so was sad when I heard that. She put up a valiant fight!

I have a twitter and I have the updates from my friends sent to my phone, and that's how I found out about Michael Jackson's death. I found out about Farrah Fawcett when my father came home from work and my mom started flipping out about Michael Jackson.

I think it's incredible how we can feel so attached to someone we have never met in person. We will all miss the impact they had on our lives. Thankfully, we have videos and photos galore. Do we take the same care to safeguard those kinds of memories with our loved ones? We should...

I have read it in the breaking news of an internet site. And after a while, it has been all over the world, from newspaper, magazine, many internet sites, television, and other means. And truly, the news of anything travels as fast as it can as our technology is sophisticated and advance. Gone are the days when the only means of spreading the news is through word of mouth!lol

I was watching CNN at the time, because I was interested in picking up any breaking news about Iran or North Korea. These deaths saddened me. It was a relief, almost, though about Farrah Fawcett. She had been suffering so. Hearing about Michael Jackson took me back to my youth and all of his wonderful music. I even forgot for awhile about his later difficulties and strangeness. It made me quite sad.

i learned about farrah's death in the news, evening news to be exact.

while for michael jackson, i was gathering then, i came across this post that he had a heart attacked and was revived at the ambulance, and at the other site i was chatting with friends and someone said he already died, but was not sure.

so i went right away to twitter, it was there i confirmed MJ was dead.


myLot reputation of 93/100. showpup (131)   ranked 2,091 out of 35,530 in people  7 months ago

I know Michael Jackson's physician had tried to revive him with CPR until the paramedics arrived but I don't think he was ever successful... was he?


myLot reputation of 91/100. jayrene (1889)   ranked 4,631 out of 35,530 in people  7 months ago

i've been reading some news about michael jackson lately and from what i gathered his personal physician wasn't successful in reviving him that's why they called for paramedics and rushed him to the hospital...

I was watching clock newsand that was the breaking news for that day. It is sad that they both died. Farrah Fawcett is not suffering from the pain of cancer anymore. Michael Jackson death was a surprise because you never heard that he was very sick. Both of them will be missed.


myLot reputation of 93/100. showpup (131)   ranked 2,091 out of 35,530 in people  7 months ago

Yes, Farrah Fawcett is not suffering any longer. But her family is. Such a tragic loss of a sweet person.
Michael Jackson did appear sick to me. You'd see him stumbling and such on different broadcasts. I think it was a hard burden juggling so much. I would do well to remember people who must juggle so much in their lives when I feel overwhelmed.

We do not mourn for the dead... we mourn for the part of us we lost when they left our world...
