Aberfan - A Story of Survival, Love and Community in One of Britain's Worst Disasters
Aberfan - A Story of Survival, Love and Community in One of Britain's Worst Disasters
On 21 October 1966, thousands of tonnes of coal tip waste slid down a mountainside and devastated the mining village of Aberfan.
The black mass crashed through the local school, where pupils were celebrating the last day of term.
One hundred and forty-four people were killed. One hundred and sixteen were schoolchildren.
Gaynor Madgwick was there. She was eight years old and severely injured. Her brother and sister were in classrooms either side of her. Both died.
In Aberfan Gaynor tells her own story and interviews people affected by that day – from the bereaved and the rescuers, to the police and royalty.
She explores the nature of courage, grief and faith, to create both a moving personal story and a definitive account of the events that shook the nation and the world.
