Aberfan: In memoriam
Journal Title: Journal of Regenerative Biology and Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
It was an ordinary day in Aberfan, Wales, and it ended in a disaster. On October 21, 1966, a 34-meter-high slag heap broke loose, slid down Mount Merthyr into the mining village and buried houses and an elementary school there. The result: 144 people died, 116 of them children. October 21, 1966 was a gloomy day in Aberfan, South Wales. It had been raining incessantly for days. But the children in the mining village were happy: they were looking forward to the autumn vacations. This was their last day at school. But then disaster struck.
