Remembering all who perished or were affected by the #AberfanDisaster#otd#history. The 116 children were my contemporaries. It still shocks me and, I know, played a part in shaping my politics.
Two surviving children stand at the top of the hill overlooking the miners digging to find children still buried in the slag, Aberfan Coal Slip Disaster, 21 October 1966 by David Hurn. #AberfanDisaster
South Wales's coal mining history includes the tragic event that occurred October 21st 1966, an event that resulted in the death of 116 children and 28 adults. The event inspired the short story Coblynau in Mists and Megaliths.🖤 mybook.to/MistsandMegaliths#AberfanDisaster
