Grape Lady

In 1998, reporter Melissa Sander was covering a grape-stomping festival for Fox 5 Atlanta when she lost her balance while stomping in a barrel on an elevated platform, falling onto the hard ground. The video became an early internet sensation (often titled “Grape Lady Falls”) and remains one of the most popular viral news bloopers. Despite the embarrassing nature of the video, she was not seriously injured, but the sheer fame of the clip meant she was forever associated with the moment.
