Four people who were children at the time of the Aberfan disaster have recalled the moment a coal waste tip collapsed, describing the experiences they lived through six decades ago.
One survivor remembered being only eight years old when the disaster happened. They said a friend was lying next to them and that they realised the child had died.
The recollections describe the immediate human impact of the collapse from the perspective of those who experienced it as children. Their accounts focus on the moments surrounding the disaster and the loss of a friend.
The testimonies provide a personal account of an event that has remained significant for those who lived through it. Four people have shared their memories of what happened and how they understood the situation at the time.
The latest accounts revisit the disaster 60 years after the coal waste tip collapsed, giving survivors an opportunity to describe their experiences in their own words.
