The George H W Bush Vomit Incident and Death Hoax

On January 8th, 1992, US president George H W Bush was attending a banquet at the Japanese Prime Minster s residence in Tokyo. And as you ve probably guessed by the title of this video, it did not go well. On top of that, 24hour news network CNN came within seconds of announcing his death live on air after a random 71yearold Idahoan, impersonating Bush s personal doctor, called in a fake tip claiming that the president was dead. This is the story of when George H W Bush vomited into the lap of the Prime Minister of Japan and was almost publicly and erroneously declared dead.
