and this…,

 

The average American eats 1,996 pounds (905 kg) of food per year. It adds up quickly if you consider the average person eats three meals a day. Times that by 365 days a year, and you get over 1000 meals – or a lot of food.

 

That’s almost one ton of food or the weight of a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle, Giraffe, or Baby Humpback Whale.

Brian Williams has told the story multiple times. During a 2003 reporting trip in Iraq, Williams was riding in a Chinook helicopter that came under R.P.G. fire and required an emergency landing. He most recently told the story on Friday’s NBC Nightly News, during a segment in which he honored the sergeant major who Williams claimed saved his life.

 

“The story actually started with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of Iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an R.P.G.,” Williams said, as images of a battered helicopter flashed on the screen. “Our traveling NBC News team was rescued, surrounded and kept alive by an armor mechanized platoon from the U.S. Army 3rd Infantry.”

 

The only problem is that the story is not true.

 

Other soldiers who were actually on the helicopter that was hit and performed an emergency landing posted on Facebook that they didn’t recall Williams or his crew being onboard. They said that Williams arrived approximately an hour after the formation had already landed. Williams promptly acknowledged that they were right, and recanted.
