The admission by NBC’s Brian Williams that he fibbed about being on a U.S. military helicopter that took enemy fire during the Iraq War prompted the hashtag: #BrianWilliamsMemories.
In case you missed it, Williams, the anchor of the “NBC Nightly News,” apologized on Wednesday for multiple claims over the years that he’d been aboard a helicopter that was “forced down after being hit by an RPG.” The incident happened on March 24, 2003.
A helicopter was forced down by enemy fire. But Williams wasn’t on it. His chopper arrived about an hour later and landed next to the damaged one.
