Karen Faye kirjoittaa, mitä tapahtui kiertueella
(the Munich Olympic Stadium, 1999)

The show began with all the frenzy and excitement that they all did. We have been doing this for many years. After I prepared for the next change, I watched from stage right.
Everything was going perfectly.... the medley...Beat It...Black or White with Slash...
Billie Jean.
The local performers for Earth Song started filing on stage. Earth Song began... then the bridge appeared, just as it had done in Korea. The children and adults slowly entered and filled the stage. The song builds.... Michael flies up the bridge and gyrates and pounds his feet, twirls as the bridge lifts away from its braces. Smoke, explosions, bombard our eyes and ears...the bridge continues higher and higher, but unlike rehearsals, and the last show.... it didn't pause at its pinnacle... INSTEAD it came careening down gaining speed with Michael tightly grasping the railings... still singing. I started screaming, but I could not even hear my own voice over the pyro, music, and the audience. I started running out from behind the stage in horror as the bridge quickly disappeared below the front of the stage, slamming down on the concrete floor. Security grabbed and stopped me, thinking I was going to ruin the performance.
Backstage, there was crying and screaming, only the crew and performers knew there was something desperately wrong. From our vantage point we had lost sight of Michael, as the bridge had fallen below the front of the stage. My heart stopped beating, while in the strong arms of a perplexed security guard. Even though the show continued for everyone else, time stood still for me as I could not imagine how Michael could have survived such a fall.
But slowly, and after what seemed like an eternity, as the music and applause continued, I saw one arm reach for the floor of the stage...then a long lean leg, another arm, another leg...he was up, center stage... finishing the end of Earth Song! My mouth dropped open in relieved amazement .
Looking dazed, he made his way to our side of the stage. "Michael, sit down...."
"NO!" He demanded.
"Security... please get him to the hospital!" I was begging.
"NO!" He grabbed the microphone and ran out to finish performing "You Are Not Alone".
I could not believe what I was witnessing. He finished the song, took his final bow, and returned once again to his stage dressing room and then... collapsed. Security whisked him off to a hospital in Munich.
Band members, dancers, Slash and crewmembers all shocked and amazed at what we had witnessed wrapped up the show with prayers in our hearts.
Once back in the hotel... I started making the phone calls to find out how he was. I got the reports that nothing was broken, but he was badly bruised, and his back was very badly strained. It had been a miracle. Being the performer he was, he knew how to land.
The next day we were to leave for Paris for a photo shoot. This had been postponed until
He was better. I asked him...why did you continue? I cannot believe you were able to do that.
"You know Turkle, the only thing that I heard in my head, was my father's voice saying to me, MICHEAL, DON'T DISAPPOINT THE AUDIENCE!"
Uskomatonta, en tiedä itkeäkö vai nauraa.

Onnettomuus näkyy tässä filmissä kohdassa 5:50
Uskomatonta, eivätkä oikeasti yleisö tainnut edes tuolloin ymmärtää, että tilanne oli tosi paha. Aika tärskyn sai varmasti selkäänsä, mutta halusi silti jatkaa - vaikkakin jatkoi esityksen loppuun ehkä juuri kuten artikkelissa sanottiin: enemmän isänsä pelko selkäytimessä kuin silkasta omasta halusta jatkaa. Oma halu oli jo pienestä pojasta lähtien opetettu pistämään totaalisen syrjään, mitätulee viihdyttämiseen ja niihin tilanteisiin.
Mies vetää biisiä ikäänkuin mitään ei olisi tapahtunut vaikka ympärillä on selvästi paniikkitunnelma. Uskomaton suoritus todellakin.
