Iraq War helicopter incident
Williams on board the U.S. amphibious assault ship
USS Tarawa in the Persian Gulf, March 13, 2003.
On February 4, 2015, Williams apologized for and recanted his disproven
Iraq War story that he had told on a
Nightly News broadcast on January 30, 2003. He claimed that a military
helicopter he was traveling in had been "forced down after being hit by an
RPG."
[43][44] Soon after it aired, Williams' story was criticized by Lance Reynolds, a flight engineer on board one of the three
Chinook helicopters that had been attacked.
[45] Reynolds and other crew members said they were forced to make an emergency landing, and that Williams' Chinook arrived a half-hour to an hour later.
[44][46]
In his original on-air reporting of the incident on March 26, 2003, for
Dateline NBC, Williams had said only that "the Chinook ahead of us was almost blown out of the sky ... by an RPG" and made an emergency landing. But in introducing the piece, NBC News anchor
Tom Brokaw described Williams as having "got [him]self into ... a close call in the skies over Iraq",
[47] and the story was headlined, "Target Iraq: Helicopter NBC's Brian Williams Was Riding In Comes Under Fire".
[44]
A book published by NBC in 2003 said that "Army Chinook helicopters [were] forced to make a desert landing after being attacked by Iraqi Fedayeen", with Williams aboard.
[48]
In a 2007 retelling, Williams did not state that his craft had been hit, but said: "I looked down the tube of an RPG that had been fired at us, and it hit the chopper in front of us." This contradicted the statements by the crew of the craft that was hit, that it was at least 30 minutes ahead of Williams' helicopter. However, the soldiers who piloted Williams' helicopter in Iraq said no rocket-propelled grenades had been fired at the aircraft, a fact that Williams did not dispute and apologized for.
[49] In a 2013 account, Williams said that his helicopter had been "hit … and landed very quickly."
[50]
In a February 5, 2015, interview with CNN, the pilot of the Chinook in which Williams was traveling said that while the aircraft did not sustain RPG fire, it did indeed sustain small-arms fire and the door gunners returned fire.

On February 10, 2015, NBC News President
Deborah Turness announced Williams' suspension from
Nightly News for six months without pay for having misrepresented the Iraq incident.
