Mandela Effect Proof-ish: Tank Man

                        

                                                              Video Cut at 00:59

One of the biggest Mandela Effects is the fact that many people remember "Tank Man", the student protester in the Tienanmen Square massacre, being run over. I am one of these people. 

In 1989, I was a bad-ass teenager who was ready to "fight the power" and stick it to the man, so this incident was very heart-felt for me. Tank Man was a true hero because he died fighting for his rights. 

Now, they say he's still alive, although tons of people on the internet and people I know personally saw the video of him getting run over live on air. I never saw him actually get run over. I only saw up to the part right before the tragic incident because it was too graphic to show on the TV news.

Even in the PBS documentary on Tienanmen Sq. that I saw about 5 or 6 years ago, they made a disclaimer saying that they would cut out the "graphic footage" of him being run over. Of course, this documentary is nowhere to be found now. 

When I heard about the Mandela Effect and that Tank Man was still alive, my first thought was, Mandela Effect or the government(s) rewriting history. I don't know which, but I have found something strange in these current videos.In this current reality, Tank Man actually gets up on top of the tank. 

Right before he gets up on the tank is the moment that I and others remember him getting run over, so it's suspicious that in the current videos, there is a cut right at that moment. My theory is that they cut the film right before he got run over and then spliced in earlier footage of the incident to make it look like he didn't die.

If I recall right, Tank Man got up on the tank at the beginning of the incident then another protester pulled him away. Next was the iconic moment where he went back and stayed in front of the tank, going left and right to block it. This explains why many people don't remember him climbing on the tank, as this would have only been seen in the extended video (which is of course, nowhere to be found). You can see the cut here:

In Wang Wei Lin Tienanmen Square Tank Man, there is a cut at 0:59.

 

In The Tank Man of Tienanmen Square, there is a stop motion at 3:54, then the video continues.  

In Tank Man (now with more raw footage), the cut is at 0:51.

In the video that proclaims Tank Man did NOT die in Tiananmen Square, you can also see the cut at 0:51.

                                                           Etc. Etc.

My theory seems highly plausible and this is PROOF of at least editing the video. Almost proof that someone or something is trying to hide the fact that Tank Man did indeed die on this day.
