Current Events > Did you believe Tank man was run over? (Tiananmen Square protests of 1989)

(+) Yeah! (+)

This one is pretty common with the Mandela effect. He was never actually run over by the tanks.

Tank Man (also known as the Unknown Protester or Unknown Rebel) is the nickname of an unidentified man who stood in front of a column of tanks on June 5, 1989, the morning after the Chinese military had suppressed the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 by force. As the lead tank maneuvered to pass by the man, he repeatedly shifted his position in order to obstruct the tank's attempted path around him. The incident was filmed and smuggled out to a worldwide audience. Internationally, it is considered one of the most iconic images of all time.[1][2][3] Inside China, the image and the events leading up to it are virtually unknown today.

Video footage shows two figures in blue pulling the man away and disappearing with him into a nearby crowd; the tanks continued on their way.

His bloodline was probably wiped out.

This. He was almost certainly killed or "disappeared."

He was definitely tortured then killed.

What does a person intend to accomplish by facing a tank?
