Chopper Whopper: How The Story Broke

Few are buying the anchorman Brian Williams  chopper whopper explanation and he has become a butt of jokes on social media.

Williams' story unraveled when Stars and Stripes, a military newspaper, asked the chopper crew members about that day — and they refuted his version of events.

The anchorman arrived on a different helicopter about an hour after a Chinook with the 159th Aviation Regiment was shot down by enemy fire, the paper reported.

Williams' celebrated coverage of Hurricane Katrina is also being questioned — in particular, his account of seeing a body float by his window of his French Quarter hotel, his claim that gangs invaded the hotel, and his claim that he got dysentery from ingesting floodwater.

There wasn’t widespread flooding in the quarter, although there was — at times — some water around the Ritz-Carlton, the New Orleans Advocate reported Friday.

Also, a medic who was in charge of the area after the storm told the news outlet he couldn't recall a single case of dysentery.

Asked about marauding gangs, Ritz-Carlton marketing manager Darren Crumpton told The NY Daily News, “I have no comment on that” but added that their guests “were protected and secure.”
