Aberfan disaster
Aberfan disaster. On 21 October 1966 an avalanche of waste and sludge from a coal tip buried the primary school of this south Wales village, causing the loss of 144 lives, mostly young children. The subsequent inquiry blamed the tragedy on the lack of any National Coal Board tipping policy.
