On 25th june, 2009 the first reports that Jackson had suffered a cardiac arrest, then that he had died, came from TMZ, a Los Angeles-based celebrity news website. Doctors at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center pronounced Jackson dead at 2:26 PM, and 18 minutes later at 2:44 pm. TMZ published: Michael Jackson passed away today at the age of 50.[18] The Los Angeles Times website confirmed the report at 2:51 pm PDT (5:51 PM EDT). The news spread quickly online, causing websites to slow down and crash from user overload. Both TMZ and the Los Angeles Times suffered outages. Google initially believed that the input from millions of people searching for Michael Jackson meant that the search engine was under attack. Twitter reported a crash, as did Wikipedia at 3:15 PM. The Wikimedia Foundation reported nearly a million visitors to Jacksons biography within one hour, probably the most visitors in a one-hour period to any article in Wikipedias history. AOL Instant Messenger went down for 40 minutes. AOL called it a seminal moment in Internet history, adding, Weve never seen anything like it in terms of scope or depth. Around 15% of Twitter posts—or 5,000 tweets per minute—reportedly mentioned Jackson after the news broke, compared to the 5% recalled as having mentioned. Overall, web traffic ranged from 11% to at least 20% higher than normal. I have given below the condition of the server of Wikipedia spikes at 15:00 hrs in Los Angeles, June 25....
