Waco Siege

A Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter buzzes past the Mount Carmel Branch Davidian compound in this March 27, 1993, file photo taken near Waco, Texas. The sprawling compound appears to be made of stucco, with a long ranch-style area and a multi-story unit towering over the rest. Bare scrubby trees surround the property. A banner hanging from the tall building reads Rodney King We Understand.
