QuoteLast Friday, Williams' breathtaking story of the downed-aircraft story came during NBC's coverage of a public tribute at a New York Rangers hockey game for retired soldier Tim Terpak, who had provided security for the grounded helicopters.

"The story actually started with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of Iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an RPG," Williams reported.

"Our traveling NBC News team was rescued, surrounded, and kept alive by an armor mechanized platoon from the U.S. Army 3rd Infantry."

But crew members on the 159th Aviation Regiment's Chinook hit by two rockets and small arms fire told Stars and Stripes that Williams was nowhere near that aircraft — or two other Chinooks flying in the formation that came under fire.

Instead, the newspaper reports, Williams arrived about an hour after the incident on another helicopter after the other three had already made their emergency landing, crew members told Stars and Stripes.

Williams' craft took no fire, landing beside the damaged craft ahead of a sandstorm from the Iraqi desert, Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Miller told Stars and Stripes.

"No, we never came under direct enemy fire to the aircraft," Miller told the newspaper

Hell Geraldo was on the news drawing maps in the sand of where our troops were at, until a soldier walked over and smeared it all out in the sand with is foot and told Geraldo thats what he was doing....The MSM in this nation is NOT a friend to the military. Yet it's that military which enables them to sit on the t.v. every night opining and making crazy ass salaries for doing so.

I never heard Bob Simon brag that 50 Iraqi-troops threw-down their weapons and surrendered to him and his cameraman (they thought the camera was a mystical US 'super-gun') when Simon's jeep crested a dune and accidentally surprised them.

Yeah, I know Simon worked for CBS, but professionals move-on to the next story.

QuoteBrian Williams' apology leaves out key details of Iraq incident

Williams admitted on air that he was not on the Chinook that was struck by enemy fire, saying he was "instead on a following aircraft" and writing a Facebook apology to soldiers saying "I was indeed on the Chinook behind the bird that took the RPG." But Army flight crews told Stars and Stripes the NBC anchor was actually flying with a different helicopter company altogether — in a different direction, and linked to the attacked unit by radio only.

The wording appeared to be another example of the anchor muddling the facts or providing misleading details of the incident that he covered in the opening days of the Iraq invasion. Since the 2003 incident, he has written that he "came under fire" and implied that his Chinook was forced down due to an attack, while soldiers said it was landed amid deteriorating weather conditions during a sandstorm.

"I think it is misleading" for Williams to say his aircraft was following behind the Chinook hit by two rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire, said David Luke, a retired soldier from Texas who was a flight engineer with a company of the helicopters under the 159th Aviation Regiment, which was known as Hercules and based out of Savannah, Ga.

The company carrying NBC and the company that was attacked typically flew sorties one hour apart to supply forward positions as the U.S. pushed toward Baghdad, though they happened to pass in the air before the incident, he said

So. Why is it all these ball less wonders in the media constantly want to portray themselves as "Heroic". Some are, but not the ones who constantly have to brag about being shot at.

QuoteBrian Williams' Katrina Tales Under Scrutiny After Helicopter Lie

In one story, he claims he saw a body float by his hotel room window in New Orleans. In another, he claims his five-star hotel was overrun with gangs while he was sick with floodwater dysentery, and was rescued from a stairwell by a police officer.

Williams recounted the first story about the floating corpse in a 2006 interview with former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, blogger Charles C. Johnson reported Thursday.

"When you look out of your hotel room window in the French Quarter, and watch a man float by face-down, when you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country . . ." Williams said, recounting the 2005 hurricane. "These are Americans. These are my brothers and sisters and one of them was floating by."

The likelihood that a body would be "floating by" in the French Quarter neighborhood is highly unlikely, as several news outlets noted that there was no flooding there — it sits at one of the highest elevations in the city. The New York Times reported just days after the storm that, "the Quarter's elegant 150-year-old buildings look relatively unruffled, except for some loosened bricks, having been spared the worst of Hurricane Katrina's winds and sitting high enough to have avoided the flooding."

"My week — two weeks there — was not helped by the fact that I accidentally ingested some of the floodwater. I became very sick with dysentery. Our hotel was overrun with gangs," Williams said in an interview with Tom Brokaw. "I was rescued from the stairwell of a five-star hotel in New Orleans by a young police officer. We are friends to this day."

The blogger noted that Williams doesn't appear to have told the story ever again, but did say in a subsequent Dateline special that the police in New Orleans used the Sheraton hotel as a staging ground for their operations, and that they allowed his film crew to film outside.
