On this day, 32 years ago, on April 19, 1993 (March 28, 1993, the American cult "Davidians" collectively set themselves on fire. Burning "Davidian" Manor Fire On April 19, 1993, a fire destroyed the manor that "Davidian" Christians had held in the suburbs of Wayne, Texas, for 51 days. It is estimated that 86 Christians were burned to death, and only 9 Christians rushed out of the fire to escape. The armed confrontation between the Davidians and federal law enforcement personnel began on February 28. Law enforcement officers attacked the manor in an attempt to collect a large number of illegal weapons from the sect, but they were violently shot by the believers. Four law enforcement officers were killed and 18 people were injured. Therefore, a large number of government armed personnel, tanks and armored vehicles drove to the scene and began a 51-day siege. On April 19, law enforcement officers took action, using armored vehicles to crash into the wall and use tear gas to force the believers out of the park. Unexpectedly, a fire suddenly broke out in the manor and swallowed the entire wooden structure complex within half an hour. The cause of the fire is controversial: the judiciary said the believers set fire to themselves, but the believers who escaped the fire claimed that the fire was lit by an oil lamp knocked over by a government tank. On the 20th, President Clinton ordered a full investigation into the case.
