Michael Jackson's death: The scoop of the decade

Thirty Mile Zone, aka TMZ, was the first website to report the death of Michael Jackson, beating the LA Times by a good few minutes.

Although my dad ran it pretty close - texting me at half 10 to inform me of Jacko's death. How does he do it?

It's quite possibly the scoop of the decade - although most people didn't believe it was true until reading the LA Times article (which took about five minutes to load at around 11pm), or hearing about it from another respected source.

It was a quick dash to Liverpool Street after work today to witness the flashmob moonwalk in celebration of Michael Jackson's life.

Pretty good turnout, too.
