One for Jaline's thread?

If it's the "Life and Death of the People's Temple" one, just saw that recently. Quite good, but they leave out some serious chunks I've always wondered about.

I remember when that happened, and I don't want to ever think about that again.

Yes those chunks. No matter where I try to learn about the whole thing, I never find out how some of the survivors survived, how the airstrip survivors got rescued, who shot JimJones in the head, whether he ordered it or it was unexpected (it was the back of the head) whether any of the survivors witnessed JimJones' end, and also how his voice manages to keep talking and talking on the recording of the end long after the screams and the crying have subsided into total deathly silence. Also, if we can hear his voice over the tannoy system, why don't we hear the gun shot that killed him. I don't "Conspiracy theory" about any of it, what happened happened without any conspiracy... I'd just like to have those things answered to satisfy my need for a plausible scenario.
