Yes it was, right here in Hendricks County Indiana.
And the true story was revealed by some honest fire crew who were hired to assist at the fake crash site.

Doesn’t the round block any view of the tube before an RPG is fired?

I remember defending little round top. The rebs almost got us. I was out of ammo and had the blood of at least ten reb’s on my bayonet. We did it, though. Lincoln personally thanked me, btw.

I should write a book about it.

Once again, this shows that the lie about coming under attack is not some new conflation caused by the fog of war, but a fable Williams has spun ever since it happened, even while the details kept changing.

Maybe the changing details is the only problem.. otherwise Williams was merely practicing narrative journalism -- like "journalists" reporting that Tea Party demonstrators shouted "n*****s" at members of the House of Representatives. It gives the story more oomph and in the latter case the "correct" message.

Narrative Writing Toolbox Stories need narrative engines to drive them

I just recalled the possible role that the Society of Professional "Journalists" has in all this. Narrative journalism.

The Society of Professional "Journalists" initiated the "don't you dare mention Muslims and terrorism together" standard -- and that started in October of 2001. If the two must be used together then the "journalist" must cite domestic terrorist groups like the anti-abortion people.

I cannot prove that the SP"J" advocates lying but covering up for Islamists is pretty damn close to proof IMO.

Say what you will about Brian Williams, but it was his pitching that got the Mets their first World Series championship in 1969.

Still have his baseball card from that year.

Were you the guy on the front lines who I wiped the sweat from his brow? I was dodging gunfire and didn’t get a good look at his face. Buy, Lincoln was definitely there. I got deveral medals for my bravery but some dickhead named John Kerry asked to borrow them. Never got them back.

He's toast.

Imagine how many other "news reporters" are now sweating out their old "war story" lies. Waiting for time-delay bombs to explode.

This is what happens when left wing narrative readers or newsmen are paid for years to lie at their job.

At some point they feel invincible after getting away with lying for so long it just becomes second nature to them.

It just proves what we’ve known for decades......that mainstream media are a pack of lying SOB’s!

This one was a great find. Man he’s really spinning the stories in this one.

He’s toast. Too much of this stuff is surfacing. I give him until Sunday night before Lester Holt is announced as anchor of the NBC nightly news and Williams fades off for a few years hoping people forget this.
