      I work in events and this is a wild oversight.

        There was actually a ramp available according to the article. They just didn’t bother with setting it up and excused themselves by saying they didn’t think she wanted one.

        Can’t make this shit up.

          Obviously she just wanted to drag herself onto the stage with her fingertips, like a dying Terminator.

            Just joking about the headline change :)

            Can web search “Instagram downloader” which is nice for avoiding Meta servers no matter where you live! Or influencing your recommendation history before you know whether you like a video.
