Waco

How did a rural Texas boy named Vernon Wayne Howell transform himself into David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidians? And what's the long-term effect of the fiery federal raid in Waco, Texas, after a weeks-long standoff?

Saturday’s rally was held in the city where a deadly standoff between federal agents and a religious, anti-government cult took place 30 years ago.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Waco, the shorthand for the fiery deadly stand-off between federal officials and members of the religious cult, the Branch Davidians.

Writer Jeff Guinn draws on new interviews with federal agents and surviving Branch Davidians in his account of the confrontation, which left scores of people dead, including more than 20 children.

The reason Waco has become a must-visit for surfers from around the world, is a surf park with state-of-the-art artificial waves. It can make 120 waves an hour and costs surfers about $10 a ride.

The McLennan County district attorney said he aims to "end this nightmare that we have been dealing with in this county." Prosecutors were not able to win any convictions after indicting 155 bikers.

Twenty-five years after the siege, the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas returns to TV. We're talking to the show's co-creators, Drew Dowdle and John Erick Dowdle, about "Waco."
