Original Note:
In 1999, the FBI admitted they used tear-gas grenades in the assault, which have been known to cause fires because of their incendiary properties. The FBI later walked-back that claim. We can surmise the tragedy happened due to the FBI's careless handling of the event. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/this-day-in-history/branch-davidian-compound-burns https://slate.com/news-and-politics/1999/09/waco-twofer-pyrotechnic-tear-gas-and-delta-force.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-mar-06-mn-6056-story.html
