The tank commander wouldn't run him down and "tank man" didn't back down, so one lone man held back the tanks for no one knows how long.

They know how long, you just said they had video. Some bystanders or secret police in plain clothes took him away into the crowd. Here is a decent google vid on the protests.

No his bravery was just dumb, he knew at that point his standing there was a death scentence. However the picture that was taken of him standing there is incredible and awe inspiring.

Some people stand in front of tanks. Others toss tea into the ocean. People who truly believe in their principles are willing to die for them.
