Deliberate mistake: Likely for safety reasons, the fire that engulfs Mount Carmel is more clean and controlled than the fire from the real incident.
Waco (2018)
Starring: Michael Shannon, Taylor Kitsch, Andrea Riseborough, Paul Sparks
The Strangers Across the Street - S1-E2
Factual error: Ed Wiggins and his media liaison are taken by surprise when they see the "Sinful Messiah" article in the Waco Tribune-Herald. The ATF had actually been aware of the article and tried to stop its publication.
Deliberate mistake: Per his own memoir, Gary Noesner was vacationing in Bermuda, celebrating his wedding anniversary, during the siege at Ruby Ridge. As one of the show's main characters, his insertion there was likely to keep him involved in the story.
