Today would’ve been Michael Jackson’s 68th birthday. The day he died, the internet broke.

The LA Times was the first major news organization to confirm he was gone. That article recorded 2.3 million page views in a single hour. More than any hour in the paper’s history, beating out the previous record which was the day after Obama was elected President. And it kept going. TMZ crashed. AOL crashed. ABC, CBS, and CNN Money went dark.
