Truth or Fiction? Judge the Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation for Yourself
(Clearwisdom.net) For some people, it is difficult to believe that the Tiananmen Square
self-immolation was a staged event designed to deceive people, because they
cannot imagine that a government and the police could do such a shameful and
deceptive act. But one thing is clear and every one has seen it on TV, that is, the plastic
Sprite bottle that contained gasoline remained intact between Wang Jindong's
legs during the entire process. I ask everyone who still thinks the
self-immolation is reality to try an experiment. Try and melt a similar size
plastic bottle and see how long it will take. My own test showed that a bottle
softens in 5 seconds, shrinks and distorts in 7, and turns into a small blob and
starts burning in 10. Now considering that a plastic bottle cannot withstand
high temperatures for more than five seconds, and as everyone will remember,
Wang's bottle was intact the entire period of his self-immolation, the full time
of his burning must not have exceeded 5 seconds. Can anyone imagine that with
its sudden occurrence, the self-immolation at Tiananmen Square was extinguished
in 5 seconds? Moreover, when gasoline burns, the temperature can reach above 750 degrees
Fahrenheit. Yet everyone will remember that Wang's ears, hair, and scalp were
all intact after the incident. Everyone should also note that one's skin will
blister in a few seconds when boiling water is spilled on it, and the resulting
burn is extremely painful; but Wang's skin seemed undamaged after this intense
fire. His vocal cords were also not damaged in spite of this incredibly high
temperature, as he was clearly able to shout out slogans. When a reporter
interviews a person outdoors, he will hold the microphone right at the mouth of
the speaker so that his voice sounds clearer. On TV, Wang's voice was loud and
clear. Being able to video the incident so promptly and so close to the person,
doesn't this in itself prove that everything was staged? 2003-11-14 |
