Mass funeral of 81 children from Aberfan after coal tip tragedy - Daily Mail
Fifty years ago the Aberfan disaster saw a massive coal waste tip slid down the mountainside in the Welsh mining village (bottom left and right), engulfing the primary school and killing 116 children and 28 adults. The children of Aberfan (above) had grown up in the shadow of the towering No 7 tip - a man-made mountain made up of a quarter of a million tonnes of coal waste and rocks dumped by the National Coal Board - unaware that their playground would one day become their tomb. At 9.15am on October 21, 1966, however, tip No 7, swollen by heavy rain, started to slide, engulfing everything in its path, including Pantglas Primary School, where lessons had just begun. In minutes, the village had lost half of its children. Mother Marilyn Brown (inset) collapsed to the floor in tears when she was told her ten-year-old daughter Janette would not be coming home.

21st October 1966: 144 people killed in the Aberfan disaster
Approximately 150,000 cubic meters of mining debris from waste tip No. 7 surged down the mountainside, of which 40,000 cubic metres swept in to the village.
Within seconds a large area of the village was inundated with a thick slurry up to 12 metres deep. A farm and twenty houses on Moy Road disappeared under the surging waste, but the most devastation was wrought on Pantglas Junior School. The landslide smashed into the school and filled the classrooms, which were on the side of the school facing the mountain, with rubble. The children and teachers, who had only arrived a few minutes earlier, were buried alive. Over half the children enrolled at the school died.
Hundreds of people including parents, miners and rescue workers struggled to rescue those trapped beneath the waste. Their efforts were hampered by the continuing flow of water and mud from the tip as well as the lack of space in which to work due to the number of people who had descended on the village to help.
The National Coal Board and its chairman, Alfred Lord Robens, were heavily criticised in the aftermath of the disaster. Lord Robens didn’t go to the scene until the evening of the next day, and claimed that the disaster was caused by ‘natural unknown springs’ despite evidence that the NCB was fully aware that the ground beneath the tips was unstable. The remaining tips were only removed after government intervention.

Aberfan memorial video
Flint Male Voice Choirs remembers the 144 souls lost at the Aberfan disaster 50 years ago.
Like most people of my generation. We awoke 50 years ago tomorrow, to the terrible news that shocked the nation. 116 Children and 28 adults were buried alive, in one of our nation’s greatest tragedies. Aberfan lost its children that morning, but gained a nation’s love, sympathy and prayers. I felt this choir with many of us living during that time, should mark this anniversary in a most poignant way. Gone are the children gone are the teachers, but your memory lives on to this day. Gwyn Hughes Chairman Flint Male Voice Choir.

UK: SCOTLAND: DUNBLANE SCHOOL MASSACRE: QUEEN'S VISIT UPDATE
Natural Sound
Britain's Queen Elizabeth the Second and her daughter Princess Anne have been visiting Dunblane, where 16 children and their teacher were massacred.
They laid flowers at the primary school gates in remembrance of the young victims who were shot in the school gymnasium.
They also met medical staff and emergency service workers who helped deal with the tragedy.
Queen Elizabeth and the Princess Royal today arrived in Dunblane to join in the national mourning for the 17 victims of the school gym massacre.
On this grey Mothering Sunday Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne went first to the 13th century cathedral where an emotional service in the aftermath of the massacre was held earlier today.
The Queen spent 15 minutes talking privately to 30 people whose children have been killed or injured.
Then she and Princess Anne took their own floral tributes to the victims of the massacre.
They joined the thousands of flowers which now form a carpet extending along the pavement beside the school.
The Princess brought north with her a small posy of snowdrops she had
picked from her own garden earlier in the day.
The Queen brought a bouquet of pink and yellow flowers - deliberately, not a wreath.
She laid it outside the school gates, immediately followed by her daughter's wreath.
Queen Elizabeth was accompanied at the scene by the Scottish Secretary Michael Forsyth MP.
She spent several minutes outside the school, pausing to talk to bystanders and then looked at other floral tributes, many of which have been sent from all over the world.
She then moved on to Stirling Royal Infirmary, where she met doctors who led the emergency operation.
She also went to the children's ward to meet other medical staff who were involved in the harrowing treatment of youngsters.
And there was a private visit to the bedsides of children injured in the shooting.

Senghenydd Colliery Disaster Senghenydd, South Wales
Deaths 440 men and boys
Verdict Explosion caused by firedamp ignition
The Senghenydd Colliery Disaster, also known as the Senghenydd Explosion (Welsh: Tanchwa Senghennydd), occurred in Senghenydd,[1] near Caerphilly, Glamorgan, Wales, on 14 October 1913, killing 439 miners and one rescuer. It is the worst mining accident in the United Kingdom, and one of the most serious globally in terms of loss of life.[2] The explosion gained this distinction nearly half a century after the previous worst disaster – the Oaks explosion at Oaks Pit, in Barnsley, Yorkshire, on 12 December 1866, when 388 workers died in two separate explosions.[3]
