Boy, when you meant short duration, you weren't fooling around!
I'd wait 3 days and then run a tape of the fire backwards so that he
rises from the dead.

dr-foo} A plan for ILM and FBI:
dr-foo}
dr-foo} Imagine it! Hundreds of speakers broadcasting high-amplitude
dr-foo} infra-sonics (.5 Hz-8Hz) for 30 hours straight. Combination
dr-foo} earth-quake and remote-control enemas!
dr-foo}
dr-foo} Smoke and phlegms fill the sky, blotting out the sun. Roaring of
dr-foo} beasts, lightnings, and celestial harmonies
dr-foo}
dr-foo} And finally, the sky is filled with angels & seraphim & cherubim &
dr-foo} all that, and the kindly face of God his own self, saying, in a deep
dr-foo} resonant trustable voice, "David, My Son, you have done well. Now is
dr-foo} the time for your final Sacrifice in My Name! I will not forsake you.
dr-foo} Go forth and Save the World!" and out he comes like Puxatawney Phil
dr-foo} with a Bible!
dr-foo}
dr-foo} It's a made-for-tv movie, It's a spectacle! it's Info-Tainment!
rev-ped} Too bad the Branch Davidians blew up before the Hollywood
rev-ped} Apocalypse could be constructed.
dr-foo} Yeah, well... maybe it wasn't such a hot idea in the 1st place.
rev-ped} Couldn't have been worse than the one the FBI tried...
Well, this might probably be the ONLY time in my life I'll ever stick up
for the FBI, but I think that knocking holes in the bldgs and pumping in
teargas (specifically to avoid the possible fires started by
gas-grenades) was a pretty good try.
NOBODY ELSE was predicting that the Wacos would soak their own bldgs in
lamp oil and set them on fire in a high wind, either -- though now that
it's happened, lot's of folks will claim to have predicted exactly that.
If the Feds had left them in there, and they'd all drunk Jonestown
Punch, the same Monday-morning wheelchair quarterbacks would be waving
their gonads around, raving how the G-men shoulda been more aggressive,
gone in with tear gas and rousted 'em out. As far as I'm concerned, the
critics can go fuck themselves with the 7th seal.
As long as Koresh is absolutely, completely dead, I really don't give a
damn, either. He was an evil Yeti, a mutant subG who was seduced by the
dark side of the Farce, adept at sucking the Slack of others rather than
simply tapping the Luck Plane and getting his own Infinite Supply.
And the rest of them were all luckless, fuckless Pinks who are better
off dead than visiting their Leader in the slammer for the next 30 years
or so, carving His Holy Name on their foreheads, taking random potshots
at Presidents, being interviewed on Donahue, and otherwise taking up
perfectly good organic material.
I'm only sorry about the children. Young kids who've been sodomized,
starved, beaten, brain-washed, and terrorized randomly for years,
without any relation to their own actions, oh yeah those poor kids would
have made a group of fine upstanding sociopaths and serial-killers. Oh
yessiree Bob, the World is indeed a poorer place for their loss.
Or kill me,
-- dr foo

Well, you are right, Monday-morning criticism is too easy. Still, it
seems to me like that FBI was caught up in Koresh's movie, and gave
him exactly the apocalypse he wanted (which was quite predictable from
his rantings):
