Interesting scenes:

1 tank firing 2 shots directly at the camera position.

1 tank destroyed by an rpg.

Is the smoke that the tanks emit being used as a screen? In one case, about 50 people passed behind the tanks’ position through the smoke.

Interesting. Wonder what happened to the guy that made it out of the burning tank?

I counted the people. There were 127 that I counted. The camera turned away for a moment. I’d say about 25 more ran behind the tanks off camera. Call it 150 people.

The looked to be school age children

Did you see his clothes were shredded? and I don’t think he climbed out of the tank I think he was blown out of the tank
