This diagram was printed on pg. 27 of the US News and World Report for the May 3, 1993 edition. Click to enlarge. |
Note how in this diagram drawn (presumably) by the artists of US News and World Report for the May 3, 1993 edition, the details are altered to sanitize the truth of the Waco Holocaust. For instance, note that the front of the building (to the viewer's right) is still complete: In reality, the tanks smashed gaping holes into the front wall and drove into the building, possibly crushing Davidians in the kitchen (see Newsweek, May 19, 1993).
Note also the tank is incorrectly labeled: military equipment experts have watched footage of the Final Day and identified the tanks. The tank altered to carry the boom was an M-40. Only one M-60 was seen in the video footage. At least two others were M-67As, with false barrel and flame thrower attachments.
At the base of the four story tower was a 19 by 20 foot room, with walls and ceiling of 6-inch steel-reinforced concrete, no windows, and only one doorway. It was not "cinderblock" as World Report represents. By April 29, 33 to 43 bodies had been found in that room.
Note the "hay storage" area, labeled to enable the World Report readers to conclude that the flames were fed by hay.
The tower is of course labeled "observation tower" and the tornado shelter is called "underground bunkers," to keeping up the pretense that the Davidians prepared a military trap for the federal agents.
The body marked on this diagram out by the swimming pool does not appear in the official medical examiner's diagrams. This may be a piece of truth that was later changed. This relocation of bodies is discussed in the page Eeenie, Meenie, Miny--DOE!
