image thumb130 Michael Jackson passes away, brings down sites

This wouldn’t be related to Tech in any way, but its hard to gulp the fact that a legend is no more amongst us. Michael Jackson is history as he passed away owing to a cardiac arrest. The reports were pretty confused as there was no confirmation when he was taken to the hospital as some sources said he was in a coma while others confirmed his death. Whatever that confusion was, he is no more a part of the living and as reports broke forth, the surge in traffic across many sites just brought them down and those included LA Times, Twitter. While Twitter failing shouldn’t surprise anyone but the list included Perez Hilton’s blog, TMZ (which first broke the  news of his death) to name a few. It had to happen, the celebrity was popular across the globe and music is going to miss the legend.
