Michael Jackson



Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson recently revealed that Michael was due at a meeting in the World Trade Center on the day of the attacks. However, Michael managed to escape with his life, because he canceled the appointment – he was exhausted from a concert he had performed the night before. Jermaine commented: “We were terrified when the towers fell, as we knew Michael was due there. But mom said he was fine. He missed his meetings, which was great.”
