With his trip to Europe, and in particular to Kiev, US President Joe Biden demonstrated the strength and steadfastness of the US as an ally of Europe, NATO and Ukraine. Shortly before his departure, however, his own fortitude began to waver. Biden stumbled up the stairs to Air Force One — not the first mishap of the trip.
Videos show how he falls, supports himself with his hands, gets up and immediately continues climbing at a slightly faster pace. At the top, he turns around again, gives a little wave, and then disappears into the presidential plane.
Tiresome journey
No wonder the 80-year-old president was already exhausted, after all, he had just finished a tiring three-day trip to Europe. Even the journey to Kiev was tough: from the US we went via Germany to Poland and from there by train to the Ukrainian capital. The train journey took ten hours for the declared train fan. Instead of relaxing it was time to work on board. Among other things, Biden went through his speech, which he then gave in Kiev.
We returned by train to Rzeszow and from there to Warsaw, where meetings took place with representatives of Eastern European NATO countries. A minor accident occurred on Tuesday at the landing in Warsaw. While getting off the plane, an employee lost her balance and fell down the stairs. Fortunately, her backpack cushioned the impact and she was not injured.
Came across Air Force One before
President Biden himself has had a number of similar incidents in the past, which had a minor impact. Came up the carpeted steps of the government aviator for a flight to Atlanta in March 2021.
