Detroit –
President United States of America (AS) Joe Biden slipped and almost fell while descending the stairs of the presidential plane Air Force One at the Detroit airport. Biden was unfazed by the incident, but a video of the moment went viral on social media, once again turning the spotlight on the US President’s age.
As reported New York Post, Wednesday (27/9/2023), the incident occurred moments after the Air Force One that Biden was traveling in landed at Detroit Metro Airport on Tuesday (26/9) local time. He was greeted by local officials and members of parliament when he arrived for the visit Detroit.
When descending the stairs of Air Force One, which is said to have reached 14 steps, Biden’s body seemed a little shaky after slipping a little, but he was able to plant his feet firmly and seemed unaffected by the incident.
The moment Biden descended the stairs and was greeted by a line of Detroit officials was caught on camera and the video was shared by local radio reporter Alex McLennon. The video quickly went viral on social media.
Moreover, hours before the incident in Detroit occurred, it was revealed that Biden was consulting with a physical therapist and using shorter stairs to avoid slipping or tripping.
It was said that Biden was doing body balancing exercises to avoid slipping in public, as his team was concerned about a poll that showed three-quarters of Americans thought the 80-year-old Biden was too old for a second term.
In addition to consulting with a physical therapist, Biden also reportedly opted to wear sneakers instead of slippery dress shoes and opted for shorter steps to get on and off Air Force One.
