US today recently released unseen footage of the January 27,1984 incident where Michael Jackson burned his scalp while filming a Pepsi commercial. The video (below) shows when Michael did his first take,and the pyrotechnics went off as planned.By going off after he descended from the stairs. He then started singing,dancing,and everything was ok at that point.
Then the video cuts to the sixth take of the commercial,and this is where things go horribly wrong. The explosion goes off to early,and his hair catches on fire. He doesn’t realize it at first,and continues to descend down the stairs,and keeps dances. The crew on the set rush in,and stop Michael from dancing so they can put out the fire. He suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his face and scalp.
Seeing the video was crazy for me because I was only 7 yrs old when it originally happened,and I had never actually saw the footage of it. I remembered,being the cruel kids we were at the time. We would joke about it,saying it was because of his Jerry Curl,and all the chemicals it contains, caused his hair to ignite. Those were the days. Time sure does fly by. Michael will be missed.
