Nineteenth of April, as broadcast

APR 19 1993

National and Texas station coverage of the final day of the siege, 19 April 1993, when 76 Branch Davidians died, among them a number of children given as 20 to 28 in different official sources. How the fire began is disputed: the 2000 Danforth report concluded the Branch Davidians started it; critics point to law-enforcement gunfire and the use of flammable CS rounds.
