Er cof am Aberfan: a disaster that wiped out roughly half of a village’s population. We will never forget:
• 144 total heart beats.
• 116 little smiles lost, aged between 7 and 10, roughly half of the village’s youth population.
• 28 adults, including 5 teachers and 23 local residents.
• 240 pupils were inside Pantglas Junior School when the landslide struck; 124 pupils survived, though only 5 children were rescued alive directly from the primary debris field inside the school.

The Avalanche & Debris
• 9:15 AM: The exact time the disaster occurred, just minutes after the school day and morning assembly had begun.
• 150,000 tonnes (roughly 140,000 cubic yards) of liquefied coal waste broke away from the mountain.
• Up to 50 mph: The speed at which the black slurry roared down the mountainside.
• 30 to 40 feet: The height of the tidal wave of debris that engulfed the school and local buildings.
• 18 houses and 1 farmhouse were completely destroyed alongside the junior school.

Colliery & Site Data
• 7 spoil tips loomed on the mountain slopes above Aberfan.
• Tip Number 7 was the specific heap that collapsed. It had been active since 1958.
• 111 feet (34 meters): The height of Tip 7 at the time of its collapse.

Aftermath & Recovery
• 9 days: The duration of the intense rescue and recovery operation.
• 8 days: The length of time Queen Elizabeth II delayed visiting the village, a decision she famously cited as the greatest regret of her reign.
• £1,750,000: The total global donations raised for the Aberfan Disaster Fund.
• £150,000: The amount the UK government controversially forced the disaster fund to pay to clear the remaining tips, a sum that was finally paid back to the village in 1997.

🌍 On International Tenants’ Day, here’s @osian.lloyd delivering an important reminder that no matter your housing status, we are all people who deserve compassion, kindness, and support.

🌍 Ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol y Tenantiaid, dyma Osian yn cyflwyno neges bwysig: does dim ots beth yw eich statws tai, rydym ni i gyd yn bobl sy’n haeddu tosturi, caredigrwydd a chefnogaeth.

“People are people.”

Many people want to get to power by playing the blame game.

But Wales is a nation with a strong sense of fairness, of solidarity and respect for our shared dignity.

No more politics of division.

Fairness, action and unity.

A new Human Rights Bill for Wales will protect our rights and help deliver a Wales that respects everyone’s dignity.
