Buzzards circled overhead and the wind blew hard on the day the Branch Davidians died.

Mix the urea and acids into a thick paste, put the glop in plastic bags, then pack them in a cardboard box. Next attach either a blasting cap or a detonator made of some batteries, an alarm clock and a container of nitroglycerine...
