This is a detail taken for granted, as we all were too much involved in analizing the scene in itself: Please delete if double post: My questions since 2009: - What heli company flew the heli following the sheriff heli transporting MJs' alleged body? - Who gave order for this flight? - Who DID actually film this transportation flight? - Have we ever heard of this person revealing himself (like Ben Evenstad had for the fake ambulance photo)? As far as I am concerned, no. Does anyone have any comments or even knowledge? Thanks!

Staff leap into action as Jackson creates campus' biggest media surge in memory
When Michael Jackson's ambulance arrived at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Thursday, June 25, the star was soon followed by hordes of paparazzi, TV reporters, fans and more. The crowd only grew from there.

In what many UCLA staff described as the biggest surge of media on campus in memory, even bigger than the 1984 Olympics, dozens of Bruins from departments all over campus teamed up to respond to the unprecedented crowds. Their tasks ranged from keeping aggressive paparazzi from sneaking into the emergency room, to crowd and traffic control, to arranging a press conference with the Jackson family – not to mention medical care for Jackson.
"Staff at the UCLA Medical Center really pulled together during this unprecedented event, from the doctors and nurses to the security, the media representatives and more," said Amir Dan Rubin, the Chief Operating Officer of the hospital. "As hundreds of mourners and press appeared on our doorstep, our team successfully responded to the unexpected surge of interest in one patient without letting it ever interfere with our ability to provide exceptional care for each and every one of our other patients."
When Jackson's ambulance arrived early Thursday afternoon, it was clear that the hospital needed to react quickly before the swelling crowd got out of control. A call went out to UCLA's police department moments after Jackson's ambulance arrived, said UCPD Captain John Adams.

"We were on scene one minute later," Adams said. Their job was all the trickier because the throngs began arriving even faster than the police did. "We secured the perimeter to make sure that the ER was still accessible to people who needed to be treated, while keeping the paparazzi out. We were cognizant that there could be people who were faking an injury or illness just to get in and snap pictures. We also worked closely with the Jackson family to help them come in safely."
All incoming patients and patients' visitors were screened. Charles Young Drive South was closed to all but ambulance traffic, and police set up barricades of yellow tape, reinforced with UC police, hospital security, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and elsewhere. Adams estimated there were up to 1,500 gawkers, mourners and media around the hospital.
"We contacted the LAPD for their assistance because we knew this was going to be a large-scale event," Adams said. "We used their assistance to create safe passage for patients and to keep the looky-loos back."

The hospital stopped one reporter who was caught sneaking in via an underground elevator from a parking garage directly to the emergency room, and Adams encountered another. "I'm not sure whether anyone faked an injury, but we did have one individual come in for treatment who was a paparazzi," Adams added. "We made sure they didn't have access to a secure area."
The hospital's media relations representatives worked with Jackson's family to arrange an announcement to the press in a downstairs auditorium. There were some anxious moments as crowds of journalists and fans gathered in front of the medical center's main entrance waiting to be let in. More than a dozen hospital and campus media reps joined officers in guiding reporters downstairs five at a time, checking media credentials at the door and turning away fans. Reporters and bulky video cameras soon filled the space, and even though the room seats nearly 200, not all the media could fit.
"We all did our best to accommodate an unprecedented volume of reporters on campus due to the extraordinary level of interest in Michael Jackson's death," said Phil Hampton, assistant director of UCLA's Office of Media Relations.
"King of Pop is dead at 50," read a newspaper at an impromptu memorial to Michael Jackson the day after his death. Photo by Alison Hewitt.
Jackson's brother Jermaine confirmed the news already being reported. "The legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2009, at 2:26 p.m. It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home," he said. "A team of [UCLA] doctors, including emergency physicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour but were unsuccessful."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sent a helicopter to lift Jackson's body from the hospital to the coroner's office, and the California Highway Patrol was on hand to create a traffic break and provide an escort in case the helicopter was unavailable. On campus, the UCLA Fire Department stepped in to make sure a candlelight vigil didn't light foliage ablaze. Media relations representatives took calls and answered questions day and night.
UCLA's Parking Services juggled the hundreds of bumper-to-bumper TV trucks from around the world seeking curbside access to the hospital, helping them park close enough to transmit live shots from their roving cameras.
Some news vans ignored UCLA's parking officers and parked on the grass, where their tires tore into the lawn. Photo by Alison Hewitt.
"We provided public parking [at the regular rate] in structure 8, and we allowed the TV trucks to park in the north and southbound lanes of Westwood, keeping the middle open for traffic," said Steve Rand, manager of traffic, events and adjudication for Parking Services. "Although we have never had this many media in my memory – that's 30 years on campus – we do have an emergency plan that calls for this very thing."
Two tow trucks circled the area, and public cars that parked in media slots were ticketed. E-mails were sent to UCLA staff parked in structures 6, 8 and 9, recommending alternative routes out of campus. Preventing pedestrians from crossing or blocking Westwood Plaza took as much attention as traffic control, Rand said.
"Trying to keep people out of traffic lanes was a big part of our job," he said. "There really isn't a lot of room in front of the hospital for people to gather."

Slowly, the press and the crowds began to let up. Many TV news crews left after a final 11 p.m. live shot, and although the satellite trucks returned as early as 2 a.m. to begin shooting for morning news shows, the street was almost bare of news vehicles by late morning. Campus and hospital media representatives continued to receive calls for days, and professors from across campus were called on for their expertise to comment on aspects of Jackson's life and legacy.
But the same day that the crowds arrived on campus, they also dissipated. Facilities Management sent clean-up crews to collect the debris left behind by the hundreds of onlookers, and an impromptu memorial to Jackson was contained within a red tape barrier. The morning after Jackson's death, the hundreds had dwindled to a half-dozen, and UCLA staff from campus police, fire, transportation, the hospital, media relations, and other units began to return to more routine duties.
"We worked really well with the hospital and media relations and parking and the LAPD and everyone else," said Adams. "I'm pretty proud of how all the different units on campus were able to work together to create that controlled chaos."
"It took a true team effort on the part of the hospital and the campus community to effectively manage a fluidly unfolding and fast-paced situation," said Roxanne Yamaguchi Moster, director of UCLA's Health Sciences Media Relations. "We are grateful for all of the support we received."

Michael has been in show business since he was a child and I am all too certain over the years he learned alot about corruptness. He did agree to 10 shows and went the greedy dogs went behind his back and changed it to 50 he said he wasn't going to do it. I am sure that made alot of corrupt people upset. They knew MJ was a guaranteed sell out for tickets and could make them loads of money. I am sure everyone wanted his head on a platter! He had to go into exile to save his life from money hungry criminals. If it's one thing about Mike it's that he never allowed anyone to push him around. I am sure we all remember Mottola! Stay safe MJ! Keep the Faith! Couldn't agree more on that. In ANY biography about Michael and even in his own (Moonwalker) it was made glass clear that Michael starting even at the age of 19 made MAJOR business decisions which just baffled EVERYONE. AND he wasn't afraid to hit someone over the head with his decisions. He would decide according to his interests regardless of what ANY other person would say or think. I for one do not believe one single second, he was controlled by ANYONE. He would never allow that. The statement by FD, that Thome had full control over Michaels finances - come on, Michael putting his control into someones hands? I have a hard time to believe that - especially when knowing that he fired simply everyone who didn't act according to his expectations. Bottom line for me is: this is a major character quality that Michael possessed since his childhood - why would he give THAT away in his 50s ... ?

Just an observation about MJs house. Please delete if posted - didn't find anything about DH chronicle No. 1 From the topic Death Hoax Chronicles No. 34 in the Breaking News section I started watching the first one, where karenjoymc shows N. Carolwood Drive and its two entrances (Monovale Dr with the 2nd) in regards to the ridiculously slow backing out of the ambulance. With google earth she shot a picture to prove correctly, that there was indeed WAAAYY enough room to turn an ambulance car in front of the house to then leave the property in a regular 'forward' mode. I couldn't agree more on that issue. Then she proceeded to show a second 'entrance' or for that matter exit leading from the round about in front of the house to Monovale Drive. This is where I have to disagree: I went around MJs house last December and this area is quite 'hilly', meaning, from Sunset you go pretty uphill for a moment before it goes downhill, and going right into Monovale Drive then goes downhill again (and pretty steep for my taste  ) and this side entrance is right beneath the corner of the house. It is a garage-like entrance. There is no access from Monovale Drive to the roundabout and vice versa. Standing in front of the Monovale entrance you cannot look onto the round about and vice versa. Plus the streets in this area are also pretty narrow and - to me at least - were surpisingly a LOT shorter than they appear. But due to how Monovale Dr. goes, the narrowness of this street, the trees, bushes, etc. I can imagine that MJ left through this side entrance while the main focus was on the main entrance with this ridiculously slow ambulance manouvre ... Just an observation from me. Thanx.

I understand this in a more metaphorical way: in general people understand such news about her 'move' as a literal move, yet, those who investigate MJs and EPs 'death' should understand this 'move' as 'the attention is brought back to the UK' where MJ did his 02 announcement. Just to tie things together. I would say it's a further step to unveil the absolut cruelty of the press in general. And where to start better than in the UK?
I agree with the statements that the UK press is pretty much the cruelest on this planet, so it would NOT make sense to move to the UK to live in peace and quiet :lol: After all, there should have been a LOT more press activity going on since her move - as she is Elivs' daughter - and if THAT isn't reason enough for the press to haunt her down ... :? But noone heard anything else than this arcticle - which is even an older one :roll:

OOh, exciting to read from some of you having been there! I've been there myself just last December with my friend and it really helped feeling close to Michael. It was around 4 PM when we got there, kind of cold and cloudy, yet as we arrived there, the sun came out. I never forget how beautyfully quiet is was. A real wonderful spot to live. Anyways, as I got there with my friend, we stopped our car right in front of the gate thinking that nobody lived there ANYway, when suddenly 2 young guards got out of the littel house inside on the right and asked through the gate, if they could be of help. We told them we were just looking around, remembering Michael. They were absolutely OK, nice and KIND of outgoing - yet not too much - and just asked us to move the car away from the entrance (duh!) due to a lot of coming and going :shock: So I casually said, of course we'd move our car away and then I asked them in a yet again casually mode: ''So there's a new owner then, huh? And they answered, 'No'. :shock: Of course I wanted to know why then there was supposedly so much coming and going when there was no new owner. They just said, they were not allowed to talk about it. Go figure ... :? My friend and I just looked at each other like, HUH?!

I agree with the poster who wrote, presidents are groomed long before they are put up as presidential candidates. Just something to add: Go research 'the Chicago Boys'. Obama is one of 'em. Who was his 'godfather' during election? Zbigniew Brzezinski. Go research into his 'history'. If you then still believe these 'candidates' have been elected because they are so damn good at their job ... well, as a matter of fact they ARE. Just with the differenciation that they're so damn good at following the Chicago Boys & Co agenda - which is what finally secures their 'throne'. And which is certainly NOT in the peoples favour.
BTW: McClain represented on the outside too much the Bushesque politic the US people had for 8 years, that's why it was just obvious people would go for Obama. They set those two up against each other, always knowing Obama will become president of their Corporation called 'United States of America' over McClain.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

I actually think he is in switzerland.. a country that he loved and been to visit many many times. And switzerland also has some of the best american bording schools (for his kids) and some of the most exclusive summercamps (i know couse i've worked in one of them). And, for some a touchy subject, they do have some of the best plastic surgeons and doctors in the world. I'ts a great place for relaxing and i think its a perfect place for MJ to recuperate. And many big celebrities appreciate the fact, that the population there in general fully respects their privacy and they can more or less lead a normal life. Think of Shaina Twain, Phil Collins, or Tina Turner. She's been living in Switzerland for how many years ... of course Michael is from different format :lol: but usually the Swiss look from afar, when a celebrity is around and don't run 'em over :lol:

Oops, I didn't see this thread before posting mine about Michael & UCLA MC. Sorry. But I fully agree with the OP. I just wrote in the above mentioned thread that Michael has a history at UCLA by attending/witnessing operations on a frequent basis for many many years. That UCLA is the 'chosen' hospital for him to 'die' is just TOO coincidental (NOT!) , especially when he was a known 'guest' there. How easy to arrange a June 25, 2009 scenario Just my 2 cents

Princes' freshness and natural way of conducting himself and also that he allowed us to see some nervousness was simply WONDERFUL! I just saw the clip twice real quick and I didn't pay attention to if he read from a TP, but he was SO WONDERFUL! And Paris! Her speech ... well, it sounded like a slip-up - yet wonderfully freestyle and absolutely natural. I LOVED their speeches. My heart goes out to them! I was just stunned at her choice of words ...

Michael had no other choice? I find it rather funny and WAAAAYYY TOO COINCIDENTAL after what I've read in Taraborrellis autobiography about Michael ... See my thread Michael & UCLA-

Hello everybody I am currently reading J. Randy Taraborrellis autobiography about Michael as I also have reread Michaels own biography due to research reasons. Anyhow. I find it MORE than interesting, that according to Taraborrellis research Michael was a frequent visitor at UCLA Medical Center by witnessing many operations. He had done so over a course of many years. He witness nose jobs, brain surgeries, tummy tuckings, etc. So he was known to hospital staff and more importantly - the hospital board. Since he obviously has had powerful connections to high profile people in just about ANY business area you can possibly think of (bankers, investors, doctors, sheiks, presidents, you name it), he must have had yet another high profile contact at UCLA in order for him to get permission to assist operations on a frequent basis. I mean, see if YOU can get to watch an operation ... must likely NOT. With this in mind it is highly likely he established a connection which one day he could use for his own purposes - whatever they would be in the end. So when reading this part in this book, I was immediately reminded of what I thought back then on June 25, when Jermaine announced Michaels 'death' and you would not for one second hear from a doctor and nurse ever since up until today. I was like: ".. and he supposedly died at UCLA Medical Center ...  and no nurse, no doctor has come forward until today?! What a ... coincidence?! Let's just assume Michael followed PT Barnums principle, that he wants his whole career to be the biggest show on earth (his own words in Frank Dileos and John Brancas presence after handing them out a copy of PT Barnums book adding, this was his bible and he wanted both of them to view as their bible as well) with the kind of contacts Michael has it's no big deal for him to get access to just about any place he likes. Furthermore it's no big deal for him to get people to do what HE wants. Consequently, Michael arranged with his high profile contact at UCLA MC what finally could be witnessed on June 25, 09. That would explain, why no nurse and no doctor has lost one word about Michael Jackson what so eva - there simply was a plan to act that way. Now of course this applies also to the theory of Michael having been murdered. The high profile person on top of the hospital board being instructed to instruct his staff to not lose one word about 'the patient' and what was going on at the hospital. Hmm .. I actually like this book A LOT!

Just think about it ... out of ALL possible songs available from Michael they chose a song written in 1996 :!:
And on top of that also a new clip of that song ... :idea: Good connection made in a post above, that it connects to the first official clip of TII! :lol: Nice!!!
