Feburary 28th marks the date when federal agents attempting to serve warrants on the Branch Davidian religious cult just outside Waco were met with a hail of gunfire.
At least five agents were killed and fifteen others wounded in the skirmish that began a 51 day standoff at the compound.
In April of 1993, Davidian leader David Koresh and 80 of his follwers were killed in a devastating fire. Last fall, a federal appeals court rejected the appeal by survivors of the siege to college damages from the federal government.
