On the heels of the revelations that Brian Williams lied about being aboard a helicopter hit and forced down by RPG fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003 a new story by both The Blaze and The Daily Mail are raising questions about his coverage of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.  Williams claimed to have seen a body “float by face down” from his hotel room in the French Quarter and that he caught dysentery after accidentally ingesting floodwaters, the New Orleans Advocate reported.

Williams makes the statement about the 1-minute mark about seeing the body float down the river in the video below:

Concerning the contraction of dysentery, Williams claim could not be accurate as the French Quarter of the city – one of the highest parts of the city – was never flooded according to the New Orleans Advocate.

‘My week, two weeks there was not helped by the fact that I accidentally ingested some of the floodwater,’ he said.

‘I became very sick with dysentery, our hotel was overrun with gangs, I was rescued in the stairwell of a five-star hotel in New Orleans by a young police officer. We are friends to this day. And uh, it just was uh, I look back at total agony.’

Williams’ statement begins at about the 3:50 mark in the clip below about becoming sick with dysentery:
