graduates at commencement cerenmony t.ly/jN7GZ President Joe Biden took a dramatic spill Thursday while
passing out diplomas after giving the commencement
address at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs,
Colo.
Gasps from the crowd followed Biden's fall, which came
as he handed out the last diploma, forcing the president
to come down on his knees.
Biden, who was helped to his feet by Air Force officials
and Secret Service personnel, appeared to trip on a
black sandbag that was on the stage.
Biden, 80, the oldest president in U.S. history, seemed to
be OK and continued to stand as the ceremony
concluded a few minutes later.
