SAN ANTONIO (KABC) -- Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina was speaking to a group of women business owners in San Antonio Sunday night when the curtain behind her collapsed onto the stage.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO was addressing the National Association of Women Business Owners when the heavy blue curtain behind her crashed to the floor.

Fiorina and her aides huddled together as the curtain and its metal rods fell.

Moments later, she returned to the podium apparently unfazed by the whole thing.

"Hey, we just get it done, huh?" she jokingly told the crowd.

No one was injured, and Fiorina finished her speech by thanking the women who were standing with her on stage.

"Now I realize they were my guardian angels," she said.
