Wow Youve Done An Amazing Job Pinac.....I Hope More People Will Get On Board With Your Channel ...You Delivered That Story With Great Calmness And Quality ....Heres To Many More Subscribers ...Regards And Respect My Friend And Thanks For The Shout Out.....Frank & Lee......Lancashire Walks...
Thank you so much Frank and Lee, Really appreciate your kind comment and thanks so much for watching, I wouldn't have known this story if it were not for you and Lee, so thanks a million guys!
You remind me of Neil Oliver! That's a compliment mate. There must be space in this industry for another historical presenting Scot. Keep um coming and build your reputation. , you'll be on ITV next year (not bbc) they will be defunct by then 😁👍
Its crazy you say that as I love Neil Oliver and he is an inspiration to my techniques when filming so thank you very much for that brilliant compliment, its made my day :) I'll go for ITV, wouldn't do BBC even if they paid me millions! Gee Wizz!! ha ha ha
What a tragedy-made me think of Aberfan: there's nothing more upsetting than seeing children's coffins. You recount the events with such passionate interest- I felt the sadness of the disaster. 🙏👍
Thank you so much pal and totally agree nothing worse is there :( the passion you see is true passion as I felt deep sadness both researching and filming, I almost felt as if I was there on the day whilst filming and recounting each minute as it tragically happened. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you kindly watching and thanks for your comment it means a lot that 👍
My brother had started school the day before this happened as well as my cousin Jennie Hall the teacher and they both died. The crash happened on the 23rd August but Joe died on the 25th August and mum died on the same date many years later. At the time mum was pregnant with me and I was born 11 weeks after the crash. Mum and dad never got over what happened.
Goodness gracious Gladys, that’s truly a lot of loss your family has suffered, I’m so sorry to hear that and how fascinating that Jennie was your cousin. What a coincidence your mum sadly passed on the same date :( so sorry for all of your families loss x
Thank you so much Noel, dont worry pal, I too had a tear as I watched it back after editing, I knew it was sad, but when the whole thing was complete and I watched it all, the sorrow and emotion was building inside me and I nearly broke :( Thank you so much for kindly watching, I really do appreciate it
Great work pal as always , never heard this story before .Reminded me of the german bomber that got lost and dropped bombs on Dublin by mistake .German government had to apologise as Ireland was neutral .
HEy Bren, thanks so much pal, I really appreciate that and Ive never heard of that!! Gee Wizz!! Im going to look into that and find out more! wow! Thanks again pal.
oh PR this tragic story brought me to tears ,;) so very very sad all those precious children losing there lives , you presented this story superbly pinac, such care and compasion , i had no idea this tragedy happened , there was a tragic loss of children at a school in Aberfan in merthyr tydfil 1966 by a collaspe of a colliery spoil tip 116 children sadly lost there lives and 28 adults :) its unthinkable to imagine what there parents went through ,
ahhh I am so sorry, it was a tragic one this one I know, such a loss :( And I have heard of the other one in wales, that was truly devastating also, I may cover that again in the future, that was certainly heartbreaking :( Thank you so much for kindly watching, I really do appreciate it
Thank you very much BK, I also never heard of this and was so surprised when I found it, shocking isn't it. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment, I really do appreciate it.
Oh pinac such A sad sad story but thank you for sharing it with us and you tell them with so much passion god bless them all .I remember my mum used to like Crosby I remember her playing his records all the time so thank you once again nanna marg
Hey nana marg, thank you, this was a very sad event wasn't it, such a sad day for the village of Freckleton, Thank you for kindly watching, I really appreciate it. x
Wow that was a very powerful story pinac, I'm in absolute tears, it is wonderful where you get all the research b4 you tell the stories, absolutely fantastic love listening to them keep up the good work ,,🙏
Ahhh thank you Paula, it is a very sad story indeed, it almost made me cry when I watched it back after editing, just hearing it in its entirety, I really do appreciate your kind comment and thank you so much for watching x
Thank you so much for your kind comment Johnny, I really appreciate it and I agree, I was shocked when I found this out and that I had not heard about it before, especially living not far up the road.
What a very touching and well presented story of such a terrible tragedy. A big thank you to Frank and Lee from Lancashire Walks and a big thank you to you PINAC and your incredible team.
Thanks very much, I really appreciate that and thanks for watching! Tragic Story this isn't it, especially as its only down the road!! I honestly had no clue whatsoever about this, so glad Frank and Lee told me and I was able to cover it. Thanks again for watching :)
Wow just Wow, you told that story with such clarity i could actually feel the very vibe of everything that happened there, you have a fantastic way of delivering to us the true impact of the tragedy, iv not been to well lately and my eyes are not good but be assured you are by far the best at this...keep them coming thank you 😘 P.S loved Bing Crosby ❤
Ahhh thank you so much Isobel I’m so glad you enjoyed that story and I am so sorry to hear you have not been well, I do hope you get better soon. Thank you so much for your kind compliment I really do appreciate that. Thank you x
This truly is such a devastating disaster! I so appreciate all of the detail and information that was given in this recounting. My father was one of the American servicemen that was assigned to help clean up when this disaster took place. He would never speak about it. We do have some journaling of his in regard to this disaster. Having to go through that school and carry away all those children’s bodies was so horrific for him. It caused him much PTSD throughout his life. What a terrible thing to happen!
As an aviation fanatic who's heard countless air disasters, it just shocks me at how tragedy can strike at any moment when you least expect it. For the people of Freckleton, this was unthinkable luck along with the fact severe weather created an even more dark scene over a little village ablaze from a plane crash. Those children who lived are little angels, along with their friends who are no longer with us. I also believe Lt. Bloemendal may have become spatially disoriented when the huge plane was flipped by that updraft and he was too low to recover, with storm clouds and heavy rain blocking his view and being unable to prevent a fiery tragedy. P.S. Have u been to the town of Lockerbie, Scotland? That was the site of the disaster of Pan Am flight 103, a 747 airliner that was blown out of the sky over the UK on 21/12/88 with flaming wreckage raining down and laying waste to the Scottish village!
Thank you so much Local G!! Always appreciated and absolutely thankful to have you around pal, weekend has been non stop! Filming the Asylum friday night and filming the Freckleton disaster yesterday so my time has been all filming and all editing this weekend lol but absolutely worth it :) Hope you have had a great one too pal.
Hiya PINAC' Thanks for this video story' I sort of enjoyed this very sad upsetting tale of something true and not far from me here in Wigan. I love local history and It's really great to have it presented in such a realistic way. Thanks PINAC.
Good to watch your video on such a miserable day but finding out about a storm that caused such terrible destruction and grief on that horrific day makes you feel grateful that you never had to witness that horror. It's a shame that these days people know more about celebrities than their own local history. I for one was not aware of this terrible tragedy. The poor mother who lost her daughter and husband must have gone through hell. The atmosphere in that community must have been so hurtful. I remember well the Hapton Pit disaster as if it was yesterday, that sense of loss in the streets. How thoughtful of Bing Crosby to visit the injured. That was a nice touch. Mother nature can be so destructive. I do appreciate your time and effort and hope the Lancashire walks people can provide other interesting information that you can report. I agree with the InvestiGator that you should have more subscribers.
Thank you so much Denise, really appreciate you tuning in on this terrible evening :) I agree, people do know more about celebs than their own rich history all around them, I feel so lucky to be in a position to be able to start learning about it all now as I have always had an interest in history, but discovering local history is just amazing! It was amazing of Bing Crosby to come and see the survivors isn't it and sing to them, even if it was from the hallway, poor guy. and poor children who survived. Thank you so much for your kind comments and thanks again for watching its truly appreciated.
Hadn't heard this story before, seems similar in some ways to the Bethnal Green Tube tragedy which was a result of war but not an enemy attack. Thanks for doing the documentary
@@DarkFascination I think there is still a modern-day fear of being crushed to death on the tube and other crowded places while there isn't of an aircraft landing on through both can happen
Definitely on the Todo List that one pal, such a big story so I have to make sure I get it right :) Thanks for the heads up though, really appreciate it :)
ha ha ha I am what you would call 'Semi-Religious' I do believe in god, but I do not go to church, i try to live a good life on a good path. The hat just reflects my belief in god.
Thank you so much your story was so beautifully delivered. I can tell you felt it walking around the memorial. It’s not so often mentioned now. I am 62 and don’t live too far away and only recently heard about it. Those poor children and teachers not to mention the cafe customers and staff just going about a normal day.
Thank you so much Harold, it was a truly sad story to tell and I am just so grateful I got to tell it to ensure the story can continue to live on in the memory of the poor people and children who lost their lives. Thanks again.
Thank you Pinac Reports.you have informed me on the historical events of the ww2.thank you p.r. Great work on this and all the documentaries.until next time .
This is horrible. My Grandfather was stationed at the base when this happened, but he never spoke at length about it. He met my Grandmother during the war, and married her in England. They came to the States after the war, and I recently found out that she was the first bride from that area to move to the U.S. I've had the honor of meeting her siblings over the years, and still have contact with my Great Uncle and cousins in Preston and surrounding areas.
Hey Ron, Thank you so much for watching, this was a truly tragic event wasn't it. Thank you also for sharing your personal connection to this event with regards to your grandfather, I really appreciate that. I was so shocked when I found out about this tragedy and it is a story that will always stay with me now. Take care and hope to see you again.
Thank you so much Karl, I honestly had no clue and was so surprised when I found out, I live that side of Preston as well and didnt even know lol. Thanks so much for watching, I did love learning about this sad and tragic story.
Such a shame isn't it David, a very tragic story indeed. I was unaware until a good friend told me about the place. I am glad I know now. Thank you so much for watching David.
Yet another fascinating yet tragic recounting of times gone by. It truly was a devastating story, yet told with such empathy as so many of your other reports, WELL DONE pal. My hat is well and truly doffed. First-class researching and fine reporting. Respect, and support as always. Please LIKE, SHARE, AND SUBSCRIBE.
Thanks so much Keith I really do appreciate your kind and supportive comment pal, it really does mean a lot to me to have your support, your an incredibly genuine guy and im honoured to have you have a subscriber pal.
Crazy isn’t it that few people know about it. My mum’s cousin was married to a man who attended the school on that day but we didn’t know anything about it until after he died.
What an absolutely terrible tragedy. As mentioned in another Comment, it reminded me too of Aberfan. This is absolutely stunning and professional reporting. I hadn't heard of this disaster despite also being local. You presented this with such empathy and respectful passion - I don't know of a professional who could have done this as well as you have. Thank you for telling the story in such a respectful, non-sensationalist, and sympathetic way. I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to seeing your other work.
Hello Ani and wow, what an incredible comment, thank you so much, you have absolutely made my day, when I read that this morning I had a massive smile on my face, so thank you! It is an incredible story and quite shocking that its so little know, even living down the road I was astounded I had not heard of this. Thank you so much for watching Ani and thank you also for kindly subscribing, I really do appreciate it.
Hi Anthony, Thanks very much pal, I really do appreciate that. dont worry I love 10 minutes away and I didn't even know, shocking!! I am glad I know now :)
This was an tragic but outstanding report pinic, I felt so sorry for the pilot 😢 he must have been so scared not just for his life but for the residents on the ground. What hero's they were to try and get out of the storm, God rest their souls of each and everyone 🙏. You told this so well I did shed a 😢 10.47 am when the clock stopped , that's gave me goose bumbs.. Thank you again x
Thank you Chrissy, Really do appreciate that and thank you so much for watching, it was a truly harrowing story this one and I know, the pilot must have been so scared :( when I watched it back after editing, it actually choked me up watching it, Thank you Chrissy :) x
Gee wizz Pinac 😢😢😢😢you are getting to be a pro at telling these stories, wow what a story im not suprised it bothered you, it was a very heartbreaking story, there is so much history out there we dont even know about, so you carry on with these stories im sure i can say for all the channel that we wait patiently for your next,, well done Pinac and you told that with such passion, keep safe & take care x🙏💙
ahhh thanks so much sadie! I really do appreciate your kind words, this was a truly tragic tale indeed, so thanks so much for watching and for your super kind comment, its truly appreciated :) xx
Your passion an emotion truely shows in the videos you do, we cant thank you enough for being so kind, compassionate and having such an amazing heart, i cant imagine the horror that day, its beyond words
Thank you for your caring commentary. Thank you for bringing us all more " Lost history" I was taught at school about the 2nd world war at high school but I was never in a class where this tragedy was spoken about. How those poor parents and villagers felt forever after this sad day X 😔
Thank you so much and I really do love that you get to learn as much as I do with these videos, the history we have is insane and if its not spoken about its forgotten, so thank so much for kindly watching I truly appreciate it
I teared up hearing this story, I cannot imagine at all what these poor people went through, I couldn't even try. I pray that these good people are resting in peace. You told this story very well, I was glad to hear it, your attention to detail yet again was impeccable. : )
Ahhh thank you Shilo, this happened just down the road from where I live, it was such a tragedy what happened to the children and learning the story, I hope I did it justice for them x
@@DarkFascination You certainly did do this story justice for all of these good people, and I'm proud that people from my country helped so many. I can tell when you are talking that you are truly sincere, that you truly care about what you do, I can also see it in your eyes that you care about the people in these cases. That's something I notice about people is their eyes, whether they are being sincere or not, and I definitely can tell that you are a sincere, and kind and loving person that cares about others. Glad you shared this story my friend.
Ahhh thank you so much Shilo, your comment has truly made my day!!! Thank you!! And yes the American soldiers were instrumental in helping the people of freckleton when this disaster took place, thank you so much for your comment it has truly touched me x
My Dad told me of this a few months ago. He was in the UK in 1956, visiting relatives of his parents with them. One, a cousin of his Dad, was the local MP of the district who told him of the event. 66 years later even recalling this was enough to bring Dad to tears. A well put together documentary.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching. I am glad your dad told you about this story, in the way that the memory of these poor people gets to stay alive. Thank you so much!
Just watched this video now I visited the cemetery a few years ago & was overwhelmed with the feeling of sadness but also a community that came together & continue to remember those lost on that tragic day Can I just say well done for a such a sensitive heartwarming video Well put together & informative 🙏🏻
Ahhh thank you Michelle, it was such a Tragic event this wasn't it and the memorial they have is just incredible. They have just had their 77th Anniversary last weekend, I went to the cemetery for the service and managed to meet a few people, a survivor was there also and another lady who should have been at school that day, but stayed off (luckily) Thanks for watching Michelle and for your kind comment :)
I love the respect you show in your videos to the people. You don't see that much and I have nothing but respect for you for not just telling these stories that have been forgotten but also showing that you truly care about the people who lived these stories. Many of them tragic. I can't say enough about it. Thank you for doing what you do. I won't lie, I actually shed a tear while listening to this one. I can't keep it together when I hear about this kind of thing happening to children. I hope they are all resting in peace.
Hi there pal, thanks again for watching all my videos lol I really do appreciate it and this story really got to me when I told it, it was a hard one to tell, learning about the tragedy that occurred, it was so sad. They hold a memorial here every year and I attended it and it was lovely as I got to see one of the ladies who was in the school at the time who survived.
@@DarkFascination HI, am a souser and i heard a story that was brushed under the carpet , 100.or 1000s died 2 troop trains crashed head on in lancashire ? world war 1 or 2 ? do you know anything . best wishes my freind.
Ive not heard that story Jose, but I will do some digging and see if I can find out anything, I will let you know if I do. If you find anything, then let me know also :) Thanks again!
Yet again your research & narration is spot on 🥰👏👏 this is such a heartbreaking story, i had tears in my eyes throughout the video. I could listen/watch you all day, you really are a fantastic story teller 💛 Xx
ahhh Kerry Ann, I like you!! ha ha you have such nice things to say! This was a truly sad tale, I loved learning about this story. It's actually the anniversary tomorrow of the disaster. Im going to try and get down and visit the cemetery and memorial. Thank you so much Kerry Ann for watching, I really do appreciate it x
@@DarkFascination Awww what a lovely reply thank you & i only give credit & praise when its deserved, Promise me when you hit 10K i can come to the party lol.. What a lovely thing for you to do, will be an emotional visit for you i'm sure 🥰❤Xx
Thanks for covering this story. I was born and raised in this village and people just older than my parent's generation were affected by this disaster. My grandparents and great-grandfather are buried in the churchyard and my uncle is the vicar there.
Hey Nickie, thank you so much for kindly sharing your experience, I really do appreciate you taking the time to do so. It was such a tragedy that I cannot comprehend what the people of the village felt, just unimaginable pain no doubt. Thank you for kindly watching, feel free to share with the community of Freckleton if you are able to. Thanks again, I really do appreciate you watching :)
@@DarkFascination I'll be sharing on my social media for sure. Have you covered Pilot Herbert Noga? The debris of his aircraft and a memorial for him is on Darwen Moor (not far from Darwen Tower) www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/bygones/13506579.mystery-lone-pilot-met-death-darwen-moor/

@@jons9721 absolutely, I can’t imagine how terrible it would be to get crushed to death! How horrific! :(
The Pendle witches and the trials. Could make a good story.
Definitely on the Todo List that one pal, such a big story so I have to make sure I get it right :) Thanks for the heads up though, really appreciate it :)
As a practicing witch, I look forward to seeing that. Nice vid btw.
My wife loves your hat and wants to know the story behind you wearing it?
Ye she is weird.
ha ha ha I am what you would call 'Semi-Religious' I do believe in god, but I do not go to church, i try to live a good life on a good path. The hat just reflects my belief in god.
@@DarkFascination I love it, we live like that too. Keep it up brother.
Great Post ! I've always been fascinated by this story as it happened so close to where I was born , Keep up the good work, brilliant stuff.
good. video. dad. 💙💚💛🧡. 🤑🤑
Ahhh thank you my beautiful boy :) xx
My great, great aunty was Kathy from the Cafe, wow, thank you for this video!
Oh my goodness.
How very very sad this story is. 😢
May there souls rest in peace ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Another amazing story xxxx
Thanks Pinacreports xxxx
I know Debs, very sad and tragic event this, I really do appreciate you kindly watching, thank you xxx
Sad story, Excellently narrated (again)...The BBC could learn a lot from you.
Thank you so much I really appreciate that kind comment :) Thank you for kindly watching!
That was so sad, I think the comments say it all. Beautifully told and its nice to spare a thought for those who were killed
Thank you so much Fred, really appreciate your kind comment and also appreciate you taking the time to watch pal, it really means a lot, thank you.
What a nice tribute to a very sad and tragic event😢 , keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thank you very much Dave, really appreciate your kind comment and thank you for watching :)
Thank you so much your story was so beautifully delivered. I can tell you felt it walking around the memorial. It’s not so often mentioned now. I am 62 and don’t live too far away and only recently heard about it. Those poor children and teachers not to mention the cafe customers and staff just going about a normal day.
Thank you so much Harold, it was a truly sad story to tell and I am just so grateful I got to tell it to ensure the story can continue to live on in the memory of the poor people and children who lost their lives. Thanks again.
Thank you Pinac Reports.you have informed me on the historical events of the ww2.thank you p.r. Great work on this and all the documentaries.until next time .
Thanks Alan, really appreciate that and it’s my pleasure. Thanks so much for watching :)
This is horrible. My Grandfather was stationed at the base when this happened, but he never spoke at length about it. He met my Grandmother during the war, and married her in England. They came to the States after the war, and I recently found out that she was the first bride from that area to move to the U.S. I've had the honor of meeting her siblings over the years, and still have contact with my Great Uncle and cousins in Preston and surrounding areas.
Hey Ron, Thank you so much for watching, this was a truly tragic event wasn't it. Thank you also for sharing your personal connection to this event with regards to your grandfather, I really appreciate that. I was so shocked when I found out about this tragedy and it is a story that will always stay with me now. Take care and hope to see you again.
PINAC keep his hand still challenge
My dad is one of the 3 children who survived this.
A wonderful, sympathetic presentation of the facts and personal stories behind this tragic event.
Thank you very much I really appreciate that, it was a tragic story to both learn and tell this one.
Beautifully put together PINAC. As a Prestonian I was aware of this event but didn't know the full story. Thanks for your effort.
Thank you so much Karl, I honestly had no clue and was so surprised when I found out, I live that side of Preston as well and didnt even know lol. Thanks so much for watching, I did love learning about this sad and tragic story.
Sorry to hear about this
Only found out this after only to Blackpool spitfire museum 😢
Such a shame isn't it David, a very tragic story indeed. I was unaware until a good friend told me about the place. I am glad I know now. Thank you so much for watching David.
Yet another fascinating yet tragic recounting of times gone by. It truly was a devastating story, yet told with such empathy as so many of your other reports, WELL DONE pal. My hat is well and truly doffed.
First-class researching and fine reporting.
Respect, and support as always.
Please LIKE, SHARE, AND SUBSCRIBE.
Thanks so much Keith I really do appreciate your kind and supportive comment pal, it really does mean a lot to me to have your support, your an incredibly genuine guy and im honoured to have you have a subscriber pal.
I live not far away and never heard of this tragedy before, excellent reporting told with feeling RIP.
Crazy isn’t it that few people know about it. My mum’s cousin was married to a man who attended the school on that day but we didn’t know anything about it until after he died.
What an absolutely terrible tragedy. As mentioned in another Comment, it reminded me too of Aberfan. This is absolutely stunning and professional reporting. I hadn't heard of this disaster despite also being local. You presented this with such empathy and respectful passion - I don't know of a professional who could have done this as well as you have. Thank you for telling the story in such a respectful, non-sensationalist, and sympathetic way. I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to seeing your other work.
Hello Ani and wow, what an incredible comment, thank you so much, you have absolutely made my day, when I read that this morning I had a massive smile on my face, so thank you! It is an incredible story and quite shocking that its so little know, even living down the road I was astounded I had not heard of this. Thank you so much for watching Ani and thank you also for kindly subscribing, I really do appreciate it.
Amazing job bro respect
Thank you so much Eddie, Really appreciate it pal!! Hope you are well!!
Horrific tale very well told with care and passion, I’m ashamed I knew nothing of this and I live less than 20 miles away. Thank you
Hi Anthony, Thanks very much pal, I really do appreciate that. dont worry I love 10 minutes away and I didn't even know, shocking!! I am glad I know now :)
I certainly won’t forget it. Thanks again pal and I look forward to you’re next project.
Thank you Anthony, and if you ever go to blackpool, nip in on the way and check out the memorial, its truly fascinating to see :)
This was an tragic but outstanding report pinic, I felt so sorry for the pilot 😢 he must have been so scared not just for his life but for the residents on the ground. What hero's they were to try and get out of the storm, God rest their souls of each and everyone 🙏. You told this so well I did shed a 😢 10.47 am when the clock stopped , that's gave me goose bumbs.. Thank you again x
Thank you Chrissy, Really do appreciate that and thank you so much for watching, it was a truly harrowing story this one and I know, the pilot must have been so scared :( when I watched it back after editing, it actually choked me up watching it, Thank you Chrissy :) x
@@DarkFascination hugs 🤗
Six degrees of separation strikes again lol. I will mention you when I see her.

Can I ask also, is there a Cheryl in your family?
Not all the Children were named at the end of this video.
Hi there I know I was gutted about this I couldn’t find and entire list sadly.
Thank you for your caring commentary.
Thank you for bringing us all more " Lost history" I was taught at school about the 2nd world war at high school but I was never in a class where this tragedy was spoken about.
How those poor parents and villagers felt forever after this sad day X 😔
Such a sad story but as usual you told it so well thank you
Thank you Jean, a truly tragic tale indeed, thank you so much for watching I really do appreciate it
You may have to ditch the cap n mask though 🤣

Thank you so much and I really do love that you get to learn as much as I do with these videos, the history we have is insane and if its not spoken about its forgotten, so thank so much for kindly watching I truly appreciate it
@@DarkFascination i wish more young folk were like you and your son,be a better world for it
Ahhh cheers pal, that means a lot. Thank you!
Wow what a small world
I know lol Ben used to go to the same primary school as my son when Cheryl lived in Preston :)
I teared up hearing this story, I cannot imagine at all what these poor people went through, I couldn't even try. I pray that these good people are resting in peace. You told this story very well, I was glad to hear it, your attention to detail yet again was impeccable. : )
Ahhh thank you Shilo, this happened just down the road from where I live, it was such a tragedy what happened to the children and learning the story, I hope I did it justice for them x
@@DarkFascination You certainly did do this story justice for all of these good people, and I'm proud that people from my country helped so many. I can tell when you are talking that you are truly sincere, that you truly care about what you do, I can also see it in your eyes that you care about the people in these cases. That's something I notice about people is their eyes, whether they are being sincere or not, and I definitely can tell that you are a sincere, and kind and loving person that cares about others. Glad you shared this story my friend.
Ahhh thank you so much Shilo, your comment has truly made my day!!! Thank you!! And yes the American soldiers were instrumental in helping the people of freckleton when this disaster took place, thank you so much for your comment it has truly touched me x
@@DarkFascination I'm glad to have made your day, I always try to spread kindness to others 💜 😊
@@DarkFascination Also, you are most welcome!
Br :)
That’s the one :)
Great Vid!
Thank you so much I really do appreciate that.
My Dad told me of this a few months ago. He was in the UK in 1956, visiting relatives of his parents with them. One, a cousin of his Dad, was the local MP of the district who told him of the event. 66 years later even recalling this was enough to bring Dad to tears. A well put together documentary.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching. I am glad your dad told you about this story, in the way that the memory of these poor people gets to stay alive. Thank you so much!
Just watched this video now
I visited the cemetery a few years ago & was overwhelmed with the feeling of sadness but also a community that came together & continue to remember those lost on that tragic day
Can I just say well done for a such a sensitive heartwarming video
Well put together & informative 🙏🏻
Ahhh thank you Michelle, it was such a Tragic event this wasn't it and the memorial they have is just incredible. They have just had their 77th Anniversary last weekend, I went to the cemetery for the service and managed to meet a few people, a survivor was there also and another lady who should have been at school that day, but stayed off (luckily) Thanks for watching Michelle and for your kind comment :)
I love the respect you show in your videos to the people. You don't see that much and I have nothing but respect for you for not just telling these stories that have been forgotten but also showing that you truly care about the people who lived these stories. Many of them tragic. I can't say enough about it. Thank you for doing what you do. I won't lie, I actually shed a tear while listening to this one. I can't keep it together when I hear about this kind of thing happening to children. I hope they are all resting in peace.
Hi there pal, thanks again for watching all my videos lol I really do appreciate it and this story really got to me when I told it, it was a hard one to tell, learning about the tragedy that occurred, it was so sad. They hold a memorial here every year and I attended it and it was lovely as I got to see one of the ladies who was in the school at the time who survived.
GREAT job mate .very interesting .
Thank you Jose, I really appreciate your kind comment and thanks so much for watching.
@@DarkFascination HI, am a souser and i heard a story that was brushed under the carpet , 100.or 1000s died 2 troop trains crashed head on in lancashire ? world war 1 or 2 ? do you know anything . best wishes my freind.
Ive not heard that story Jose, but I will do some digging and see if I can find out anything, I will let you know if I do. If you find anything, then let me know also :) Thanks again!
Yet again your research & narration is spot on 🥰👏👏 this is such a heartbreaking story, i had tears in my eyes throughout the video. I could listen/watch you all day, you really are a fantastic story teller 💛 Xx
ahhh Kerry Ann, I like you!! ha ha you have such nice things to say! This was a truly sad tale, I loved learning about this story. It's actually the anniversary tomorrow of the disaster. Im going to try and get down and visit the cemetery and memorial. Thank you so much Kerry Ann for watching, I really do appreciate it x
@@DarkFascination Awww what a lovely reply thank you & i only give credit & praise when its deserved, Promise me when you hit 10K i can come to the party lol..

Tragic tale, thank you for highlighting it...keep up the great work pal.
Thank you so much Peter, I really do appreciate your kind comment, it truly means a lot, thank you for watching.
Thanks for covering this story. I was born and raised in this village and people just older than my parent's generation were affected by this disaster. My grandparents and great-grandfather are buried in the churchyard and my uncle is the vicar there.
Hey Nickie, thank you so much for kindly sharing your experience, I really do appreciate you taking the time to do so. It was such a tragedy that I cannot comprehend what the people of the village felt, just unimaginable pain no doubt. Thank you for kindly watching, feel free to share with the community of Freckleton if you are able to. Thanks again, I really do appreciate you watching :)
@@DarkFascination I'll be sharing on my social media for sure. Have you covered Pilot Herbert Noga? The debris of his aircraft and a memorial for him is on Darwen Moor (not far from Darwen Tower)
www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/bygones/13506579.mystery-lone-pilot-met-death-darwen-moor/
Thank you so much Nickie I really appreciate that and thanks for the info on the pilot, I’ve not heard of this so I really do appreciate that :)
