To mark the 40th anniversary of this disaster.



Forty years ago - on Friday 21st October 1966 - a terrible tragedy struck at the Welsh mining village of Aberfan. A mountain of coal slurry engulfed a school, claiming the lives of 116 children and 28 adults. In one morning, a whole generation was wiped out. Images of Aberfan's terrible plight were broadcast around the world; it became the world's first televised disaster and one of the defining moments of the 1960s. At first the Labour Government of the time had seemed anxious to help, but their failure to understand the village's plight and the loss of a whole generation of children awoke in this small mining community a sense of its own power. Driven by grief, anger and guilt, the village fought for justice. They took on the might of an uncaring government and won. A tale of tragedy, soul-searching and redemption, this is the untold story of Aberfan.
