The Jonestown Massacre of November 18, 1978, was not a mass suicide as commonly believed, but rather a mass murder orchestrated by Jim Jones, where armed guards forced 918 people to drink cyanide-laced Flavor Aid, with children poisoned first and survivors hunted down in the jungle for hours afterward.

The Dark Truth About Jonestown: It Wasn't Mass SuicideAdded:
Did you know that what we call the Jonestown Massacre wasn't actually a mass suicide? On November 18th, 1978, 918 people died in Jim Jones' compound in Guyana, but the audio recordings tell a different story. You can hear people screaming, refusing to drink the cyanide-laced Flavor Aid, begging for their lives. Armed guards forced them to comply. The children were poisoned first. Parents had to watch their own kids die before being forced to drink themselves. Jones had been preparing for this moment for years. He called them white night drills, practice runs for mass death. But here's the most chilling part. Survivors who escaped into the jungle heard gunshots for hours after the poisoning began. Hours. People were trying to run, trying to escape into the forest, and Jones' men hunted them down, shot them one by one. The world called it a mass suicide, but the evidence tells us the truth. It was mass murder.
918 people executed by a madman who convinced the world they chose to die.
