Tank Man (now with more raw footage)

If you don't like the background music, just mute the video or turn off your speakers. That simple.

Anyway, I know other users have previousy uploaded this video, but I couldn't find a version that features as much of the available raw footage as possible in one "seamless, uninterrupted" stream. Therefore, I spliced together footage from the documentary, The Tank Man (2006), removing narration and intervening talking heads, in order to show only the remarkable courage of this man.

Because it turned a mob into individuals. The tank drover wasn't just following orders and driving through a crowd. He could see this guy's face, his countryman's face. It made his enemy human and his job inhumane.

I would not know this, but i believe that it's much easier to kill people at random than it is to stare at one man in the eye and run him over.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

People with education quote dictionaries, too, you know. Quoting a document doesn't make a person uneducated.

[benblue3]

He used it correctly.. He just quoted the dictionary so you didn't have to look it up.

[Wasabiofip]

But he doesn't always realize that in the moment. Attacking a faceless crowd feels different than crushing a man who is just fed up and just wants to to leave.

If I was that T-59 driver, I'll drive off when the guy was dancing on the turret

they dragged him off to be shot probably soon after this was filmed.

His job is always inhuman.
