Tank Man[1] is still one of the most powerful photographs ever taken IMHO.

The futility of staring down a line of T-59 tanks with nothing more than a couple of plastic bags is just so universally human.

That gesture is never going to be forgotten and never going to be erased.

1989, and it certainly isn't fiction.

We just didn't have Twitter back then.

But scores of FTP/NNTP servers rushed out the photos, of which many have seen.

What makes you think it is fiction?
