About this episode

The 1993 Waco siege remains a flashpoint of federal authority after newly surfaced audio reveals the chaotic initial confrontation between the FBI and David Koresh. These recordings document the Mount Carmel Center standoff, capturing the exact moment federal agents and Branch Davidians exchanged gunfire following the deaths of multiple ATF officers.
