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, 24-hour news network CNN came within seconds of announcing his death live on air after a random 71-year-old 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. ▬ Contents ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - A Look Back at 1992 1:46 - Bush's Tour of Asia-Pacific 2:16 - The Vomit Incident 4:05 - Blaming the Ambassador 5:24 - The Cultural Aftermath 6:17 - The Death Hoax 8:10 - The Hoaxer 9:50 - But why?
