Is this the minute that changed Michael Jackson's life?
But as usual I needed an editor to check for typos and had it as Michale Jackson.
This is the link I used and also put up the video on the post.
1984: Michael Jackson burned in Pepsi ad
Michael Jackson has received hospital treatment for serious burns to his head after his hair caught light during a freak filming accident.
The 25-year-old entertainer was singing his hit "Billie Jean" for a Pepsi Cola commercial in Los Angeles when the special effects went wrong.
Three thousand fans saw a firework display erupt behind the superstar, showering him in sparks and setting light to his hair.
Some studio audience members said he was so calm, they thought the incident was part of the act.
On this day in history
But this "author junomich" was off by ten years. Also a bit late on the question raised and pointing to this event in his life.
I have no idea what this website is supposed to be about but I give them credit for trying.
PTSD has nothing to do with if someone is a child molester or not. Some use it to justify becoming one saying they were abused as children, but that does not mean all people with PTSD from being molested turned into being molesters. The other point raised was the changes in Jackson' appearance and odd behavior. Again, off base because the years were wrong. Jackson, as pointed out on the original posting, had begun to transform his face in a few years after this. You can see it in the pictures posted at the above link. There were so many events in his life and reports of being abused by his father, as reported by Michael in an Oprah interview, that PTSD is very likely but these events with the accident during filming the commercial would have sent mild PTSD into PTSD on steroids, as happens with most cases of un-addressed PTSD followed by another traumatic event. Changes in people happen for a reason, especially drastic ones.
Michael Jackson - PTSD- Why he was not a child molester

Abnormally Normal - Michael Jackson - Why He Wasn’t a Child Molester
At age 46, I could never understand the fascination with Elvis. Why did people continue to follow him, and visit Grace Land? That changed last week, when I opened my Yahoo to see that “Michael” died to young. What? I thought this must have been some kind of joke.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) requires that a person experience a traumatic event. While what may be traumatic to one person may not be traumatic to another. I have not read any traumatic events of Michael’s childhood, but I am certain that there were many.
Absent, any remarkable traumas in childhood “aside” from his stardom, in 1994 Michael’s hair caught on fire while filming a commercial. Now think about that for a moment, it was certainly a traumatic event. Imagine your own hair and scalp being on fire? The heat so tremendous…and what must go through your mind at that moment. Will I die? My face? You get the idea.
By almost all written accounts, Michael has almost always been rather reclusive, and just perhaps the 1994 accident was the final trigger for full blown out PTSD?
We all know that he suffered from depression which is a common Co-Morbid of common condition that people with PTSD suffer with. Whether the depression came before or after, does not matter. click link above for more
