In light of comments made at the trial of MJ's doctor and the intense media coverage, I suspect 'perfect storm' will become a common phrase. For example, CNN's report on 9/27/11:
"Chernoff also says the evidence will show Michael Jackson gave propofol to himself, without Dr. Conrad Murray's consent or knowledge. He argues that the combination of lorazepam and propofol created a lethal "perfect storm.""
Merriam-Webster online Dictionary defines "perfect storm" as a critical or disastrous situation created by a powerful concurrence of factors; it was first used in 1936.
