Brian Williams told an audience at Temple University last year that he hasn’t just seen “dead people,” he’s seen “thousands of dead people.”

After his apology for his false account of his experience on a chopper in Iraq, just about every firsthand claim made by Williams over his storied career is coming into question these days—particularly his accounts of the horrors he supposedly witnessed during Hurricane Katrina. Another claim, reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, has now been added to the list of the NBC anchor’s dubious “credentials.”

"I have seen thousands of dead people in different places," Williams told the students at Temple University in October. "You have to find a place to put that or else you can't get up in the morning."

It was what he experienced in New Orleans after Katrina, however, that haunts him the most. "I expect to see unspeakable things overseas," he said, "but I saw this in my country."

Katrina was his most memorable news event, he explained, "For what it meant to our society. For what it still means. The issues. Race. The environment. Energy. Justice. The lack of it. It's all still there."

Several news outlets have recently called into question many of Williams' claims about what he witnessed in the aftermath of Katrina, including seeing a dead body float by from his Ritz-Carlton hotel window, being terrorized by gang members, and supposedly getting dysentery from accidently drinking flood water.
