Male reporter: When it comes to gun violence in America,
the numbers are simply staggering.
Female reporter: Chaos erupting in downtown Atlanta.
Female reporter #2: Police clashed with protesters,
stopping traffic and making several arrests.
Female reporter #3: Today marks the five year anniversary
of the Freeman Lakes explosion,
which claimed the lives of over 35 people
and dozens more unaccounted for.
The tragedy, which spawned several conspiracy theories,
including the notion that authorities intentionally
bombed the apartment complex while tenants
were still on the grounds.
Investigators later concluded that the explosion
was a result of faulty wiring,
which caused a boiler explosion on the ground,
likely the result of tampering from the now-defunct
radical terrorist group, BFM,
who were squatting on the property
after a government evacuation was ordered.
In the past, many conspiracy theorists have alleged
that the Freeman Lake fires was in fact a civilian attack
on US soil by authorities.
Sarah! Jacob! Let's go. I don't want to be late.
Noting that the attack was nothing more
than a modern day purge.
Jacob: Hey, Mom. I'm ready. Hey, baby.
The Senate committee later concluded
that there was no sufficient evidence
to support those claims.
[Sighs] Sarah! Let's go, honey.
Shortly after the Freeman Lakes fire,
the eccentric real estate magnate Charles Marshall
purchased the land and conducted a full demolition
of the apartment complex and transformed the grounds
into a sprawling lake house resort for the rich and famous.
