NEW YORK — “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams said Wednesday that he had not been aboard a helicopter that was struck and forced down in Iraq in 2003, as he has previously claimed.
Williams recanted his original story to Star and Stripes, telling the military paper that he doesn’t know “what screwed up in my mind that caused me to conflate one aircraft with another.”
