It's been 30 years since the deadly stand-off in Waco, Texas that killed 75 people, including 25 children.

Among the dead was David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians, one of several Doomsday cults that made news at the end of the 20th century.

On this episode of History of the 90s, first broadcast in May 2020 as part of a series on Doomsday cults we look back at what happened in Waco and why.
