The Branch Davidians, a splinter group from the Seventh-day Adventist Church, were led by David Koresh, who claimed to be the final prophet before the Second Coming of Christ. Koresh’s teachings, which included interpretations of the Bible and a strong emphasis on apocalyptic themes, attracted a following that resided with him at the Mount Carmel compound. Tensions began to rise between the group and the authorities, fueled by allegations of illegal weapons stockpiling, child abuse, and other concerns. These escalating issues eventually led to a raid on the compound by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) on February 28th, 1993. This initial raid, intended to serve a search warrant, resulted in a fierce firefight and several deaths on both sides.

The ATF raid and the subsequent standoff quickly escalated into a full-blown siege, drawing national and international media attention. For the next 51 days, law enforcement agencies surrounded Mount Carmel, engaging in negotiations with Koresh and his followers. The FBI, taking over the operation, implemented a strategy that involved attempts to communicate with the Davidians, as well as various tactics designed to force them to surrender, including playing loud music and using tear gas. The Davidians, meanwhile, remained defiant, refusing to leave the compound and claiming to be awaiting instructions from God. The standoff put the nation in a state of unease as everyone awaited the next course of action.

The decision to end the siege came on April 19th, 1993. After weeks of failed negotiations, the FBI launched an assault, using tear gas to try and force the Davidians out. Shortly after, a fire erupted within the compound, and it quickly consumed the structure. Over 70 people, including Koresh, died in the fire. The exact cause of the fire remains disputed, with authorities claiming the Davidians set the blaze, and some survivors and critics alleging that the tear gas played a role in igniting the fire. The devastating conclusion of the siege sparked a flurry of reactions and investigations, each one offering a different perspective.
