Podcasts about aberfan disaster

Students at Pantglas Junior School had just settled in at their desks the morning of Oct. 21, 1966, when an avalanche of slurry swept through the building, trapping hundreds of children and teachers and wiping out nearby homes and businesses. Known as the Aberfan Disaster, the collapse of a colliery spoil tip ultimately killed 116 children and 28 adults. While the official cause was weeks of heavy rain, what happened was no mere act of God.

When Gaynor Madgwick wakes up, she has been thrown to the other side of the classroom. She is lying on top of one of her classmates, Gerald Kirwan. Around them, the classroom has been turned upside down. The ceiling has collapsed and the black mess extends high into the room. Next to them is another student. Are you okay? Gerald asks, but gets no answer. Instead, to his horror, he sees streaks of blood begin to seep from the boy's nose. He looks like he's asleep.

Warning: This episode is centered on the senseless and preventable deaths of over one hundred children. If that's not something you want to deal with, please skip this episode and re-join us next week. In the green, rolling hills and valleys of southern Wales, coal sat in rich veins. The process of removing that coal was acknowledged to be dangerous for the miners, a risk that they all accepted to provide for their families. None of them knew that the lives that would be risked were not just their own, but those of their children. Join us as we discuss mining operations, the power of the National Coal Board, and how de-humanizing bureaucracy can be when empathy for human beings is forgotten for the sake of a bit of cash.

This episode covers the 1966 Aberfan Disaster. 

The 21st October 1966 dawned misty and grey in the Welsh mining town of Aberfan, with fog blanketing the village. The 240 students of Pantglas Junior School were looking forward to their half term break. At an assembly later that morning, they would sing the hymn ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful' for their teachers before school would be dismissed at midday. Ahead of them was a week off. The children were looking forward to getting outside for hours of playtime with their friends. That morning, 8-year-old Pantglas student Jeff Edwards walked to school with his best friend Robert Jones. When the boys arrived, they hung up their coats and took their seats in the classroom. It was a perfectly ordinary, drizzly autumn day, with everyone in the village going about their business. But what no one in Aberfan, Wales, or even the rest of Britain could anticipate, was that in less than an hour, the lives of the town's residents would be changed forever in the most tragic - and some would later say entirely foreseeable - of circumstances.CW: child death, suicide-Visit us online at obscuracrimepodcast.com-Support Obscura on Patreon and unlock the exclusive Black Label episodes: www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcastEpisode Sponser:Download Best Fiends FREE today on the App Store or Google Play.

Immediately he joined a small group of rescuers trying to reach the class rooms. What he saw he said would never leave his mind.  The children still at their desks, covered with slime, sludge and mud, dead by suffocation and the mummified form of the teacher still standing in front of the children with his arms out as though he was trying to protect them. He was dead.   With many thanks to our guest writer for this episode, and to Jen for suggesting it.   The episode detailing the inquiry and aftermath of the Aberfan Disaster will be released exclusively on Patreon on December 21st.

In 1966, thousands of tonnes of mining waste fell on top of a small welsh village called Aberfan. Sadly, the majority of this landed on the primary school, burying the majority of the village's children alive. How did this come to happen and why?

In this episode, we dive into the Aberfan disaster of South Wales that shook England. In the months after, a Psychiatrist thought he could collect premonitions from those who sensed the tragedy long before it happened, and even children who predicted their own tragic death. His project came to a dark end, when his most trusted psychics predicted his own impending doom.

Subscribe to the podcast!https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/ On Friday, October 21, 1966, the small Welsh village of Aberfan suffered woke up to a typical autumn day. Many of the men in the village went to work at the local coal mine and the children went to the local school. At 9:15 am, the lives of everyone in the village had changed forever.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the tragic events in the quaint mining town of Aberfan in south Wales. Days of heavy rain and an underground spring combined to turn a hillside tip into a dark sludge which slid down and plowed through the Pantglas Junior School, taking away a generation of the town's children.

As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster, historian and producer Steve Humphries talks about how the Welsh village has coped with the tragedy. Meanwhile, we are joined by Woman’s Hour presenter Jenni Murray to discuss some of the figures she's chosen for her new book A History of Britain in 21 Women See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
