The video footage brings back some fond and scary memories.

I didn't hear anything about the anniversary on the media here. And what an important event this was!

I had not seen some of those images before. That "tank man" thrown on the tarmac really frightened me.

@Viva: Very little coverage here as well. I don't remember the tank man 20 years ago. His friends save his life!

I remember, it was the beginning of the end.
