Waco, TX

Netflix's latest limited docuseries, Waco: American Apocalypse, follows the events that transpired within a compound at Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas for 51 days before a massive fire forced the bloodshed and mystery to stop through an apocalyptic tragedy. Nearly 30 years since the 51-day standoff between federal government authorities and the Branch Davidians, a religious cult led by a man named David Koresh, Netflix's latest series tries to put out testimonies from participants on both sides without falling into the debate of evidence or hard facts. Showcasing exclusive footage from what turned out to be a bloody siege, Waco: American Apocalypse presents differing perspectives of the same events as law enforcement, media personnel, and survivors offer a version of the infamous siege at Waco that they believe to be true.

They purchased it for 58 cents and had no idea what they had just stumbled upon. It was a gray wool sweater with "West Point" written on the front, and the name "Lombardi" sewn on a cotton swatch inside. It turned out to be owned and worn by Vince Lombardi, one of the greatest football coaches of all time.
