US President Joe Biden, on Friday, fell three times while climbing the steps of Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, while on his way to Atlanta.
In a viral video, the president is seen climbing the stairs, during which he loses his footing and trips thrice while holding onto the railing with his right hand.
He, however, gets up, dusts his left knee, then climbs the remaining steps up before saluting the air force personnel on the runway.
Air Force One took off shortly afterwards from outside the capital Washington for a flight to Atlanta, where Biden was to meet members of the Asian-American community which has been shocked by a series of shootings in massage parlors.

Reacting to the incident, deputy press secretary at the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre reportedly told journalists that “It was very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 percent fine.”
In a tweet also, White House communications director, Kate Bedingfield, maintained that the US president was “just fine” and did not require any medical attention after the fall.
I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him. Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs.

Biden, aged 78 is the oldest person to become America’s president.
In November, the US president suffered hairline fracture in his right foot while he was playing with Major, one of his two German shepherds, after which he was required to wear a boot for several weeks.
Biden, however, is not the first president to get caught on camera stumbling on the steps of the Air Force One.
In 1975, ex-President Gerald Ford slipped and fell down the steps of the Air Force One in Austria.
It was raining and the steps were said to be wet at the time.
