i was running through my head what the native chinese Beijing located historian was quoted of, and setimate of 100k killed the night of the tanks rolling into Tiananamen Square and have found a major dificulty in seeing how this was possible.
His statement the the Square was completely surrounded and all side streets blocked with tanks and soldiers does make the 100k killed quite doable BUT that leads to the problem of the clean up and "vanishing" of the bodies.
I doing some very rapid mental math of how many trucks would have been needed to collect the bodies and truck them off to a secret burial ground, the math indicates they could not have been able to accomplish this without the use of about 1,500 trucks , i find it hard too believe they had 1,500 trucks all set to move in for a rapid disposal, and thus hide such an event happening.
10,000 could be accomplished, yes--but 100k, we are getting into the surreal.
