Andrea Smith intro to: News Anchor FAIL Melanie Lawson FALLS On Live TV

Apparently one of my ABC Newsone pieces is the lead-in to this viral video of a news anchor falling off her chair. Hope it wasn't my segment!

I normally find it funny sometimes when people fall accidentally, but she was so nice about it at the end and she looks like such a sweet person, I feel bad more than anything else. I would have rushed to help her up.

She has multiple sclerosis. As do I. The exact thing would have happened to me had I leaned over that far. Our balance is terrible. I could tell by her reaction and those around her that she is used to being off balance and falling. I react just the same as she did when she fell....I know there is no way the audience could have known then, but it would be nice now for folks to be aware

I honestly thought for such an embarrassing moment, she handled herself rather professional and very classy. Stuff like this happens to the best of us and if it was me, I would have busted out laughing in the most unprofessional manner! That is probably why I am a firefighter and not a news anchor! lol

Since this woman, who is well known in the Houston area and highly thought of has suffered from MS for years and never complained publicly, and certainly has done YOU no harm, why don't you delete this video instead of showing how much of an ass you are?

[ShinySuitTheory]

Stupid idiot, he willing to toss it!

Do any of you boneheads know she has MS and walks with the aid of a cane?

[Rebmetpes4]

It's her own fault! DAM, MELANIE; yes, Melanie, you're FINE in more ways than one!
