1 year anniversary since Michael Jackson passed away

So.........

Today's the one-year anniversary since Michael Jackson passed away............and shook the world for months afterward.

Feel free to share your memories of your reactions after you heard this awful news.

 My story

So I was at ACT tutoring that afternoon; about 30 mins after I arrived, one of the teachers who was on the computer said "Hey guys, uh, Michael Jackson just passed away". I was like "The ****, are you seriously joking, that's impossible". For the next hour or so, whenever I got the chance, I was following the developments and realized that the world just lost one of the best artists out there in recent history.

Thinking about it, this was one event that made a mark for the rest of the summer
