The raid on David Koress
The FBI had a hostage negotiator specially trained to try to end the stand-off peacefully. Day after day Agent McCrary (I think I got the right spelling) advised, negotiated and prayed for an end to the ordeal. There was conflicting opinions as to the best way around the problem. McCrary wanted everyone out alive.
As time dragged on and tempers grew short, a decision was made to attack in military fashion against McCrary's advise. The rest is history.

∙ 12y agoIn 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms staged a raid on the Branch Davidian compound at the Mount Carmel church. The Branch Davidians were tipped off to the impending raid, and a firefight ensued between them and the BATF, resulting in five ATF agents killed and 16 wounded. This was followed by a 50 day siege which ended when the Mount Carmel Center erupted into flames, reportedly set ablaze by David Koresh and other Branch Davidians, but to which conspiracy theorists (who have mostly been debunked) claim that the FBI set the compound on fire.
