What happened when Jim Jones used potassium cyanide?
The people’s Temple became “The People’s Killing Field”, as 900+ people were reduced to flapping around on the ground like fish out of water, and “Cool aid” lost its innocent image. For a totally shocking insight into that day, go to Ogrish.com and look up the Jim Jones massacre-tape scripts. For some strange reason they had a tape recorder on the whole time from when discussions were still taking place (about whether or not to go ahead with it. Some can be heard pleading for life.) until the mass (forced) suicides began. It’s extremely disturbing to listen to. Update 07: I found the link to the tapes: http://www.ogrishforum.com/showthread.php If you find it difficult to make out what is being said, there is also a link there to written transcripts as well.
