I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share.

  I think the classic is the one where you see only 3 tanks.

    So it is this, just cropped. Or really another pic with wider view?

      I think it got cropped by western media to better focus on the hero and less on the army.
