Michael Jackson's Stage COLLAPSED 40 Feet Over Munich -- His First Words Stunned the Crew

On the night of June 27, 1999, at Olympiastadion in Munich, Germany, the hydraulic bridge lifting Michael Jackson forty feet above fifty thousand people gave way in the middle of his most personal song. What the rigger who climbed down into the wreckage found when he reached him -- and the first words Michael said before anyone even knew if he would be alright -- became a story two crew members kept mostly to themselves for the next twenty-five years. This is the story of a Kosovo benefit concert, a stage that collapsed underneath a live vocal, and the apology a global superstar insisted on making to the people who saved him.
