I had a neighbour who moved to our area years before I came because he was there when it happened and he was digging for the children. After it was all over he said he couldn't walk the streets anymore without hearing the roar of the slide and the cries and screams of the parents. He spent the rest of his life "alone" because he couldn't bear the idea of loss and not having control again. He kept journals in his trunk and his very last one, the last page. Was nothing but apologies to the children for not being able to dig them out fast enough. He wasnt even a professional... he just started digging. He said all the time that he can never forgive himself. It was so heartbreaking watching him slowly deteriorate especially when he got Alzheimer's and we would find him in our local field at all hours of the day digging with his hands yelling "I'm coming kids I'm coming!" ... He was just digging at the grass 😭 It was SO heartbreaking

I don’t think you’ll find anyone in the Valleys who doesn’t have a story about Aberfan. Devastating. It enrages me that no one was every held accountable 😭

Queen refused to attend untill she was told this will ruin your rep. She didnt care about the kids just herself.

The teacher probably knew there was nothing he could do to save them but he gave them a small plan and hope.

My dad was welsh. He told us about what happened and took us to aberfan when we were kids. We were born in england. but he made sure we knew what happened. My dad died 2 years ago. I now live in Aberfan. I love the memorials but we need to do more to respect their deaths. This needs to be something that brings out the community to be together ❤️

All I can think is what a horrible slow way to go. That must have been so scary for those that didn’t go on impact- trapped under all of that…just kids
