“Michael Jackson Was SUPPOSED to Die on 9/11… But a Late-Night Call From His Mom Saved His Life!”
In September 2001, the legendary pop star Michael Jackson had a scheduled business meeting set for the morning of September 11 at the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City. This appointment was reportedly planned for one of the upper floors of the iconic skyscrapers. The night before—September 10—Michael stayed up unusually late during a long, heartfelt phone conversation with his mother, Katherine Jackson. They talked for hours about various personal matters, which left him exhausted and caused him to oversleep the next morning far beyond his usual wake-up time.As a result, he completely missed the meeting and was still in bed or just waking up when the tragic events unfolded. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower, followed shortly afterward by United Airlines Flight 175 hitting the South Tower. Michael, who had recently performed his 30th Anniversary Celebration concerts at Madison Square Garden just days earlier and was still in New York at the time, was safe and unharmed thanks to this unexpected delay.
His brother, Jermaine Jackson, later shared in his memoir You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother’s Eyes that the entire Jackson family became extremely worried and frantic in the chaotic hours following the attacks. With communication lines overwhelmed and news of the disaster spreading rapidly, they desperately tried to reach Michael and confirm his safety. It wasn’t until they finally got through and learned he was secure—actually still in New York rather than at his Neverland Ranch in California as some initial reports mistakenly suggested—that the family could breathe a sigh of relief. Michael himself reportedly told his mother afterward that her late-night call had inadvertently saved his life by making him oversleep and miss what could have been a fateful appointment.This narrow escape became one of the many “what if” stories associated with 9/11, highlighting how a simple, everyday moment like a family conversation can sometimes change the course of fate in unimaginable ways.
