If Michael Jackson's death can bring the net to a crawl...what would have to happen to shut it down and what should the wolrd do to beef up equipment to avoid that happening?

If I recall correctly, the internets was pretty slow on 9/11 too. That was before the smart phone craze, so most people were internet surfing from home or an office, where they could also watch TV. I haven't seen a single televised item about MJ's death since I don't watch television; I did, however, find things out on my BlackBerry.
Do news outlets need additional servers to handle the traffic of a once-every-8 to 10 years type of event? Is slow internet just something we'd have to deal with during a Major Event?
