Two APCs arrived From The South
Time: Sunday Jun 4, 1989 at 12:30:00 AM
Place: Tian'anmen Square, Beijing, China
Details: At 12:30 am, two more APCs arrived from the South. The students threw chunks of concrete at the vehicles. One APC stalled, perhaps by metal poles jammed into its wheels, and the demonstrators covered it with gasoline-doused blankets and set it on fire. The intense heat forced out the three occupants, who were swarmed by demonstrators. The APCs had reportedly run over tents and many in the crowd wanted to beat the soldiers. But students formed a protective cordon and escorted the three men to the medic station by the History Museum on the east side of the Square.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
