Caught director Mike McNulty's speech this A.M. He promises a number of new surprises in the upcoming Waco: Revelations.
McNulty claims that the concrete bunker in which the chidren were hidden was breached from the top by a 1 meter wide shape charge. Further claims that many of the occupants were crushed by the blast in the sealed room and by concrete and steel fragments.
Finally, he claims that "something" occured in the back of the building which resulted in Lon Horiuchi's radio command for "Mission Compromised" and that a conscious decision was made to kill all witnesses. He went as far as to call the action "mass murder" and promises to make all this clear in the upcoming sequel.
All in all, McNulty seemed like a pretty straight shooter. While his claims are incendiary, his speech was forthright and factual. I don't necessarily ascribe to all of his conclusions, but there's certainly more fact than fiction in his work...a lot more than we've received from DOJ!
When I stood up to ask a question about the Rangers' position, I prefaced it with a simple "thank you" to him and his team....the audience responded with enthusiastic support. Even if you weren't there, know that your thanks to these guys was transmitted.
