Are there photos or videos or anything of this? Dang. Wonder why they would’ve let the one from the famous photo go so easily then.
Edit: this doesn’t seem to be verifiable as far as I can tell. The one source I can find is a diplomatic cable that says he heard from someone who heard from a friend that this happened, not quite first hand info. Would like to see anything you all can find though.
The ones I thought to see were not there, but I remember seeing a very disturbing archive on r/nsfl before that sub got locked (this was about a decade ago I think, somewhere between 2013 and 2015).
There’s literal no evidence that that it ever happened, and indeed it would violate the laws of physics (human bodies aren’t just bags of fluid). It’s one of those anti-communist myths that get past by western reactionaries
What do you mean?
The tankman incident happened the day after the massacre as the military was dispersing. The interesting photos are from the day prior.
Tankman stood in front of the tank the day after the military opened fire on and ran over protesters. Context adds a lot more to the story.
They used hoses to wash the flattened remains of many protestera into the sewers.
The tanks ran them over.

Warning: Some of the photos in the link are VERY gory Yes there are photos.
I just went through 99 photos and none of them seem to help the argument that they ran over a gathering of people and washed them down drains

Yes. There are photos.
No, there are not
There is zero evidence of this happening, but that doesn’t stop reactionaries repeating this bit of disinformation constantly
