1978 - Jonestown, Guyana. 913 Commit Mass Suicide

SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) -- The world was shocked by the mass murder-suicide in the supposedly utopian community known as Jonestown, and the questions linger: How and why did 913 people die? Some believe answers may lie in more than 5,000 pages of information the U.S. government has kept secret. 

What is known about the end of Jonestown is that on November 18, 1978, Jones ordered more than 900 of his followers to drink cyanide-poisoned punch. He told guards to shoot anyone who refused or tried to escape. Among the dead: more than 270 children.  For an extensive CNN report on the 20th anniversary of this event, click HERE.  (The http address above contains many links to many different views about this event.)
