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.
