Trivia
"Operation Showtime" was the ATF's code name for the planned raid of the Mount Carmel compound.

Goofs
In the episode the ATF is shown shooting penned dogs, then there is a general flurry of mostly-ATF gunfire that starts the battle. There's no compelling evidence the ATF fired first or the gun battle was simply a mistake. There is documentary evidence (video) and testimony both from agents and journalists there to cover the event that the Branch Davidians opened fire as soon as the ATF began to demand they all come out over bullhorns.

Quotes
David Koresh: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down! Please, stop!

David Koresh: There are women and children in here!
