Unforgettable moments from the Michael Jackson memorial service

Unforgettable moments from the Michael Jackson memorial service: The Staples Center isnt exactly the sort of venue to inspire large crowds to behave themselves (witness the rioting by some Lakers fans following the teams NBA championship victory last month). But the nearly 11,000 people inside the arena stayed absolutely quiet for 15 minutes while Jackson family and Michaels casket were brought onto the floor.
