The Aberfan Disaster (1966) | A Short Documentary | Vault of History

On the morning of October 21st, 1966, a peaceful mining village in South Wales was forever changed. After days of rain, a massive coal waste tip above Aberfan collapsed, sending thousands of tons of sludge hurtling down the hillside. Within minutes, Pantglas Junior School was buried — and with it, an entire generation of children. This is the story of Aberfan — a tragedy that could have been prevented, and still haunts the village today. Thanks for watching!
