Poise after The Great Fall

I think it would be everyone's nightmare to tumble on stage in front of millions of viewers. It was a nightmare come true for Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart, who never would have thought in a million years that she would fall down in the prestigious Miss Universe beauty pageant but in this case, accidents happen. After Miss USA 2007 suffered the same fate last year, one would wonder why American candidates go through the same humiliation. It was impressive to note though that both of them were able to handle it very well and continued on as if nothing had happened.
