Michael Jackson escaped 9/11 attacks

According to a biography written by his brother, Michael Jackson could have been one of the victims of the 9/11 attacks but was saved by their mother. However, the singer later died after suffering cardiac arrest. On September 11, 2001, the terrorists crashed planes into the Twin Towers of World Trade Center in New York.

Late pop legend Michael Jackson escaped death during the terrorist attack in the US eighteen years ago. Jackson could have been one of the victims of the 9/11 attack in which almost 3,000 people were killed.

On September 11, 2001, the terrorists crashed planes into the Twin Towers of World Trade Center in New York. The singer overslept that day and missed his appointment which was scheduled to take place in the Towers.

"Thankfully, none of us had had a clue that he was due at a meeting that morning at the top of one of the Twin Towers," the singer and Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson wrote in his biography titled You Are Not Alone: Michael: Through a Brother's Eyes.

The King of Pop overslept after staying up late to talk to his mother Katherine Jackson.

"'Mother, I'm okay, thanks to you. You kept me up talking so late that I overslept and missed my appointment,'' Michael Jackson said to his mother as mentioned in the biography.

Despite surviving one of the world's biggest terrorist attacks, Jackson died eight years later after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 50.
