Aberfan, South Wales.
A school sat beneath a mountain of coal waste.
Warnings had been raised.
The springs were on old maps.
The National Coal Board was blamed.
116 children died.
28 adults died.
Nobody was prosecuted.
Then £150,000 was taken from the Aberfan Disaster Fund to help remove the remaining tips — money donated in grief, used to clean up the failure left behind.
It was not returned until 1997.
When a public body is blamed for 116 children’s deaths and nobody is prosecuted — is that justice, or protection?
