is this sinking in for you?The words Michael Jackson is dead...It's just not going through my skull.
hasnt atall tbh todays felt weird, the amount of times those 4 words have gone through my head. i cant think of a single day that i havent listened to one of his tunes, always wondered what it would be like when he passed away never imagined it would have been so soon though. to have grown up listening to his music then just suddenly find out that what had happened was surreal. dont think it will sink in properly for a while

I remember there was a time where VH1 dedicated the whole week to Michael Jackson, showing all the music videos, interviews and the Michael Jackson movie, nothing else just those were put in a cycle (reply) for a week. I'm sure some of you remember it too - it was about 10 years ago.Well they need to do it again, for the youth to understand what he has done and gone through.Because that's the way I truly learnt about him as a kid.

Ben Sherwood ArticleDoes Anyone Survive Sudden Cardiac Arrest?June 25, 2009 08:23 PMThe most lethal kind of heart problem -- called sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) -- occurs when your ticker's electrical system goes haywire and stops pumping blood to the rest of your body. SCA accounts for an estimated 325,000 deaths every year in the US and -- according to news accounts -- it appears to have killed Michael Jackson. It's important to note that a heart attack is different from cardiac arrest. A heart attack or myocardial infarction is a blockage of your heart's plumbing while cardiac arrest is an electrical problem with your heartbeat, according to the Heart Rhythm Foundation. The difference is critical: Cardiac arrest is typically much more dangerous than heart attack.What are your odds of surviving cardiac arrest? In major cities in North America, your chances range between three to nine percent depending in large part on the quality of the emergency response system. In communities with the best emergency response like Seattle, the salvage rate tops out at 16 percent. Put bluntly, even in the best cities in America, 85 to 95 percent of cardiac arrest victims simply don't make it.Consider the Jackson case: It took paramedics three minutes and 17 seconds to respond to the 9-1-1 call from Jackson's home. His personal physician was already in the house performing CPR, according to the Los Angeles Times. Jackson wasn't breathing and never regained consciousness. Paramedics treated Jackson for 42 minutes, transporting him to UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.Believe it or not, casinos are among the safest places in the world for a heart attack, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. The reason has nothing to do with Lady Luck, says Dr. Bryan Bledsoe, a former paramedic and emergency physician who teaches at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and writes textbooks for emergency caregivers. Survival depends on how fast you're defibrillated and receive chest compressions. If you get the first jolt within one minute, your chances are around 90 percent, but they drop 10 percent every sixty seconds. That's a big reason why airports, ball parks, libraries and other public places are installing more and more defibrillators. They save lives. Indeed, the AED program at O'Hare and Midway airports in Chicago has showed a salvage rate of 64 percent, good news for travelers and even better odds the Vegas strip.Update: From news accounts Friday morning, it appears possible that Jackson suffered from respiratory arrest induced by drugs (or a drug overdose). Respiratory arrest means your breathing stops and it usually coincides with or triggers cardiac arrest. We'll know more after the autopsy today.
