Topic: Linda Thompson

Slides illustrate tanks driving into the gym area and onto the roof of Mount Carmel, causing massive structural collapse. Thibodeau disputes Jeffrey Jamar's congressional testimony that only one tank entered the building at a time, citing surveillance photos showing two. He also clarifies that video footage of "flamethrower tanks" popularized by Linda Thompson was actually an optical illusion of sunlight reflecting on a turret.

Critics point to the suppression of evidence, including the "loss" of the front door by the FBI and the disappearance of raw media footage of the initial entry. The ATF is accused of hiring contractors to bulldoze the Mount Carmel site immediately after the fire to destroy evidence before the Texas Rangers could investigate. These actions are viewed as a deliberate effort to hide the direction of gunfire and other forensic details.
