(2004-02-03) -- Theatrical garment forensics experts from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) worked through the night, in an airplane hangar near Houston, to reconstruct Janet Jackson's Super Bowl halftime show costume which suffered a sudden "wardrobe malfunction" Sunday night.
The unexpected, unplanned, accidental event which exposed part of Ms. Jackson's upper torso to 99 million American television viewers has sparked an FCC investigation which could result in millions of dollars in fines and new government regulations on the structural integrity of television costumes.
"We should have a full report from the task force in about 10 months," said FCC Chairman Michael Powell. "Until our forensics team completes its preliminary investigation, this case is officially a UGF -- unexplained garment failure. Now that a federal agency is investigating this incident, the American people can feel safe knowing that their taxpayer dollars are invested well."
