They bombed a school killing 175, 108 of which were young girls.

That is how I think of the bombing. I will never forgive America.

I expect by the time that the babies that #r4today are following become adults there still won't have been any prosecutions relating to the Grenfell Fire. It is what we do 'well' in the UK-Making sure that those in power are never held responsible for their actions. #JFT97 #Aberfan #Ibrox

Hillsborough families fear police report won't 'give all answers' A long-delayed report into police conduct at Hillsborough is due to be published by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

When a disaster happens in this country after dealing with the initial problems the first thought of the state and the powers that be isn't to hold those responsible to account but instead to protect them. It's baked into the system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #JFT97 #Grenfell #Aberfan #Ibrox

Not many Australians will remember, or know about this. But this terrible disaster, caused by corporate arrogance and greed lives in and tears at Wales’ soul forever. #Aberfan

a white grave marker with pillars either side, the writing says 'in loving memory of Peter, beloved son of Thomas & Margaret Williams, 38 Aberfan Road, Aberfan. Died 21 October 1966 aged 10 years. Our darling boy.

'Our Darling Boy'. Sometimes the simplest inscriptions are the most impactful. Peter Williams was one of 116 children killed in the Aberfan disaster 59 years ago, along with 28 adults. The pit heap collapsed, burying the school as well as people's homes.

I've seen this awful image before, but seeing it again now I'm struck by how much it reminds me of a volcanic mudslide, or the tides of black water that flowed in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. But those, of course, were natural disasters. #OTD #Aberfan

59 years ago the Aberfan disaster took place taking the lives of many children at their primary school. My grandfather went and dug for survivors, and by all accounts was never the same afterwards!
