Part Six: "Those tips must go..."

A promise is made - the remaining tips above Aberfan will be removed. But at what cost to the village?

The Aberfan disaster shook the world - 116 children and 28 adults died on 21 October 1966 when a coal tip engulfed a junior school and surrounding homes. How could this happen? It’s a tale of unheeded warnings, broken promises, and a shattered community’s fight for justice. Includes strong, first-hand testimony from both survivors and rescuers about the aftermath of the disaster that struck their small mining village. A nine-part podcast series from the same stable as 'Shreds'.
