BMW Big Boss Stumbled n Fell

Oh dear! Harald Krueger the BMW boss did not see falling off coming, he was engrossed into his speech when he stumbled and fell on his back while on stage at the Frankfurt Motor Show, according to report. 

BMW said he was not seriously hurt and had been told by a doctor to rest at home for the day. The 49-year-old looked stunned as he was helped to his feet.

A spokesman said Mr Krueger had been doing a lot of travelling lately and was not feeling well before the presentation, but he chose to press on regardless.

"They've ruled out anything serious," the spokesman said. 

Since his appointment as chief executive in May, the company's shares have fallen by nearly 19% as concerns surrounding China's economic woes have hit investor confidence.

It was Mr Krueger's first major public appearance since his appointment to the top job earlier this year, after starting his career at BMW as a trainee in 1992.
