On 21 October 1966, an ordinary school morning was shattered when a coal tip above the small village of Aberfan collapsed, engulfing a school and nearby homes. 144 people died, including 116 children. Sixty years on, survivors remember the moment of the disaster. #Aberfan #Wales #SouthWales #Disaster #News #BBCnews
