The accident may be more than 20 years old, but this video of the infamous explosion that burned Michael Jackson as he filmed a Pepsi commercial just surfaced in the weeks after the pop singer's death.

Us Weekly obtained the video and released it this week.

Michael Jackson is ALIVE! Or a ghost? Or both? Who knows.

Look, we're all bummed that Michael Jackson is gone. I remember watching and re-watching an old VHS tape of a Showtime special on the making of "Thriller" when I was young.

But some people are convinced that Michael Jackson is still among us, whether in corporeal or non-corporeal form. Here's two competing videos on the matter (warning, many people are using Michael Jackson survival videos as an opportunity to Rick Roll you).

First, is the human-shaped shadow moving in the background just some random person's image caught by a light, or Michael Jackson moonwalking in the afterlife?

Second, does Michael Jackson's body move while being flown to the morgue?

Prisoners say farewell to Michael Jackson

Remember the Thriller dance by the 1,500 Filipino prisoners at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center? After learning about Michael Jackson's death, they choreographed a new number in his honor.

The Thriller dance was much better. It was Number 3 in Watch This Now's Top 10 Viral Video Clips of 2007.

French kids lip synch Thriller

A group of French students did a video to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" just in time for Halloween.

And it's great fun. Yeah, it's clear some of them don't really know the lyrics, but the camera work more than makes up for it.

Michael Jackson meets Alfonso Ribeiro, dances, shares Pepsi

I remember when this commercial came out. I believe Alfonso Ribeiro was still on "Silver Spoons." I also believe this was pre-Pepsi commercial where Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire.

And are those all the Jackson Brothers, ready to depart on the Victory Tour? Yes, I believe that's all of them.
