We in Wales still cry generations after, we in Wales never forget, yet to our astonishment, this was the first times from every part of the UK, helped out in some way, once you make friends with a Welshman, your back is always protected.
Cómo se llama el himno que entonan?. Cuando lo escuché me emociono hasta las lágrimas. Después vi que era una adoración a Cristo. Saludos desde Argentina.
It wasn’t all that long ago when you really think about it… it must be so difficult to think of those poor children that perished. I’m glad that the story was done justice by The Crown so that more people are aware of this tragedy. 💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏
after learning about Aberfan, i cant help to feel for the families who lost their loved ones. Nobody wanted it to happen but its just sad nobody paid for the lives lost. These are children, brothers and sisters to their siblings, friends, great joy of their parents. i cant just imagine.
The brief shots of the people vainly digging at the coal with their helmets and even their bare hands in utter desperation is just fucking haunting, especially when you know that many of the victims survived the initial impact and died by slow suffocation. They could hear their children crying for help, and then slowly falling silent one by one as they ran out of air, and there was nothing they could do to save them. Many people probably did fall to their knees and claw at that mountain of hard unyielding coal with their bare hands that day as they heard the last gasps of their dying children. What happened at Aberfan should never be forgotten, nor forgiven.
I live in South Wales, i've just got back from taking a friend to both Senghenydd (my children live in Senghenydd and the house they are in is one of ther few to have not lost someone in either 1901 or 1913) and Aberfan, we walked around the site of the school and then the cemetery in Aberfan where the victims are either laid to rest or remembered. If you are ever in either village please visit the memorial sites
for me, aberfan was the most touching episode of the crown. afterwards i cried and had to hug my kids who didn't know what was going on until i explained it to them
I was 8 years old when this happened , the same age as some of those poor mites , i vaugly remember the Black and White pictures on the TV News and in the papers . But what affected me most was on the 10th Anniversary one paper did a centre page report on the Disaster , and spoke to one survivor and he said "the worse part of being a survivor is i have no friends my age , they all died that day" , a Mother who lost her child that day said "this is the only town in Britain with hardly any teenagers"
I have been to the cemetery and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. This is such a sad loss out of pure greed by the the NCB. HMTQ did go and she kept in contact with the families throughout her reign. She apparent;y has said it was one of her biggest regrets that she never went to Aberfan sooner. It touched her deeply not as a Queen but as a mother, the thought of having a child taken from you in this way was shocking.
Apparently one girl had a dream about being crushed by a landslide and she told her mother in the morning that she really didn't want to go to school because of the dream etc but her mother sent her anyway. This was the day of the Aberfan disaster...
I was nine years old at the time of this awful tragedy and can still remember the absolute shock that went around the small Yorkshire (UK) community that I lived in. We said prayers at school and held a collection. We could do no more, sadly. 😢
@@michaelhayden725 Lord Charteris, her private secretary, urged the Queen to wait. He had good reasons - the resuce efforts were still going on, and he worried that a royal visit would interfere. He had a point - security and an entourage for the Queen would be a massive undertaking. It's very important that she made it, but I'm sorry it hung over her. She was a mother too. The decision was taken with no malice and an attempt to be kind.
The beautiful Welsh valleys and areas of the north of england fuelled the industrial revolution but to huge cost with nothing ever being returned from London etc where the money went and they thrived. Aberfan was rightfully the tragedy that got spoken about the most but there were many. Also there were things like my great grandfather had his arm ripped off and my housemates grandfather had his fingers ripped off in dangerous machinery above ground before even going down into the abyss.
Women in the textile industry often lost fingers. Industrial dust, not just in mines, but in many factories was a big killer. The wealth of the South East was made at the expense of the rest of the country.
They dished out compo according to how upset each family was. Compo being money sent in by the public not from the government, the queen could have asked but never asked never spoke and only vetted laws that affected her or her families interests.
For anyone interested, please listen to the heart-breaking and beautiful song 'The Price Of Coal' By David Alexander, which is a tribute to Aberfan and all lives lost through the history of coal mining. One lyric in that song gets the tears flowing every time: 'Aberfan in '66, when the whole world cried, on a mountainside, a generation died'.
What I ALWAYS notice in these major AVOIDABLE disasters is that the scene of consternation, solidarity, sisterhood and empathy ends when the cameras are turned off. How many were blamed, prosecuted, fined and arrested for this ANNOUNCED TRAGEDY? Only the poor people suffer in the end... =^/
Al empezar esa escena comencé a llorar. Ya había conocido este triste caso y al que atendió la reina. Pero al verlo en pantalla y saber que iba a pasar con ese a lagrimear fue muy fuerte
I have seen every episode of every season of "The Crown", and this in my opinion is one of the best. Olivia Colman is always outstanding, but I think all of the actors (Bonham-Carter, Menzies, etc) all stepped up their game for this one. It is especially curious to me that in a pivotal scene the Queen admits that she feels no emotion in situations where most people would. It's curious because in "Spare", Harry admits to the very same issue as a young man hearing of the death of his mother (Princess Diana).
Sounds like a pretty deep coping mechanism to me. It's taken for granted that the Queen must retain her composure at all times in public. But "The Crown" didn't do the Queen justice here, effective as the scene is. If you watch the actual footage of her visit the Queen looked near tears. Always with this show it's good to check the actual history/footage against their presentation of it. It's compelling drama but not always historically accurate.
You would hope, one day, all of the deaths that keep being caused by unregulated industry would prompt some kind of action to bring these money focused companies under control and stop letting them get away with killing people.
It was so sad thinking it was their last day to the vacation. School was going to be closed by midday. If it was next day Or it happened in evening many would be survived.
@@notasgood459 rubbish , you have not a clue. The parents in the village were always close. The surviving children's parents felt guilty but there was no resentment. I had family involved in the disaster. This disaster galvanised the valleys and parent gave their children an extra hug after that
@@DOCTORDROTT Very true. All of the families became tight knit out of the tragedy. The ones that survived felt guilt. The school was one day from recess. To this day I don't know how the board survived the meeting with the parents. After digging my child from dirt, I'd have seen red.
We have stop there yeasterday(22/10/23) - when walk up and look on cementery it was rain, get to the top and then look at to the vally oh my god...sunshine in seconds - they all 116 Angels have a spectacular view forever - RIP
This was a complete misrepresentation of Her Majesty's response. She was advised not to go too soon as it would interfere with the rescue. When she did visit, the villagers welcomed her and one took her into their home so she could compose herself as she was so upset. This is very easily checked on the internet, but here is part of the actual story: The delay in going to Aberfan attracted some criticism and years later the Queen's former private secretary, the late Lord Charteris, said he felt he had given her poor advice. "We told her to stay away [from Aberfan] until the preliminary shock had worn off," he said, adding that it was the biggest regret of her reign. But for those left mourning in the village there was nothing but love and respect for the Queen, who they felt helped them during their darkest hour. "To come to Aberfan wouldn't have been appropriate," said Jeff Edwards, the last child to be rescued from the school, who the Queen always referred to as "the little boy with the blond hair". "The trouble with any royal visit is that you have an entourage and it just takes over and the rescue work was still ongoing. "To have her come down any earlier would have added to the utter confusion." He said the tragedy clearly affected her and she was visibly moved as she walked down from the cemetery to a local house. "When she went into that house she was really upset and she had to compose herself before she went on to meet the relatives and families who had lost children and relatives," added Mr Edwards, who went on to serve as an independent mayor of Merthyr Tydfil and council leader. The Queen walked to Moy Road, the street that led to Pantglas Junior School, where mourners had gathered to meet her. "She came across and spoke to us and I didn't think of her as royalty really," said Mary Morse. Marilyn Brown, whose daughter Janette was killed aged 10, recalled: "You could see that she was quite emotional. You could see that she cared, you know." "To me that day, she didn't come as the Queen, our monarch, she came as a mother, to sympathise, to empathise, to really appreciate what everybody had been through that day," added Denise Morgan. Marjorie Collins, whose eight-year-old son Anthony Wayne died in the tragedy, said the Queen's visit had helped the community more than anything. "They were above the politics and the din and they proved to us that the world was with us, and that the world cared," she said.
Yes. The Queen was famously in command of her emotions in public. But thinking of children suffocating to death in coal slag would break anyone's heart.
I wonder if people gave the Queen flack for not showing a lot of emotion after Aberfan happened. Queen Elizabeth is as tough as iron, England needs that. But she’s not a heartless woman. I’m sure she questioned at times her own deficiencies on certain matters. She was made for the role she was destined to be put in. & I do believe a lot of politicians struggle with this very thing. Good people, good leaders but just something is off. I had a similar response to Sandy Hook. I didn’t cry or anything the day the news came out. It took me a full 1.5 days before I broke down & absolutely bawled my eyes out. I was in shock. I think that happens alot when people are grieving.
@@lamsy1 rubbish. She was told not to attend due to the area being made safe. A Royal visit would have not helped the situation. I had family involved in tip clearing work and my father went there to dig out the kids on the Friday with many other people. Lots were turned away as there was so many offers of help. Lord Snowdon and Prince Phillip attended on her behalf. People on here comment were not even born and had no idea how bad it was that dreadful day. I can remember it like it was yesterday. The Crown is not real, its a TV show FFS !
I watched this on the Crown I still think about it now, the crowns response was shameful she said she did not know how to cry but found time to cry when Margaret tried to take her life,
It was difficult for her to hijack this kind of event, it's all about photo ops for the royals. Turn up at some kids home, shake hands, and have lots of photos taken where everyone comments about all the lovely expensive clothes they are wearing, ohh I love that coat, so stylish, not that most of them realise they're one off custom made designer items with a price tag in the tens of thousands. But it matters not, they look good, they shook a few hands, they are the head of the charity. All those working behind the scenes are unimportant, hey even the kids in the kids home are just props, nobody knows thier names or cares, but they only remember the name of the well dressed woman who was smiling for the camera at the poor urchin. That's how it work's, Aberfan was a human tragedy, so a week was allowed to pass before arranging a visit, a visit she did not want to make.. She showed up at lockerbie under duress after Andrew made insensitive comments on TV about the terrorist event. The monarchy who had close ties to gadaffi eventually secured the release of the lockerbie bomber. Charles reffered to col gadaffi as your excellency, a word he only used for people he held in the highest regard. Charles is a political animal, setting up deals, advising the government on policy change. Only thing is he's unelected which is worrying
A cidade imperial. Ao contrário dos 5.568 municípios brasileiros, Petrópolis tem uma origem diferente, do camarote VIP . Pelo que sei, a cidade nasceu para ser um ar condicionado da coroa que subia a serra fugindo do Rio 40 graus, sem eletricidade e cervas geladas. Por conta desta origem nobre, os moradores da cidade imperial ainda hoje tem que pagar um imposto extra chamado laudênio para a família real dos Orléans e Bragança que tem como hobby viver no passado e namora o fascismo. Se a família real inglesa com rainha dura e tudo mais está cheia de ladrão, vadio e pedófilo imaginem a outras que levam a vida nas sombras. O que me recorda: Aberfan. Aberfan, é o nome do mais tocante dos episódios do seriado The Crown e de uma aldeia de mineiros que em 1966 some depois avalanche de escória de carvão descer causada por chuva forte matando 144 pessoas, sendo 126 crianças. Após uns dias de desdém, sua magestade foi lá apertar a mão dos enlutados que tem ao menos a sorte de não serem brasileiros que só puderam acenar para o helicoptero do Messias. Fico a imaginar se esse contribuintes mortos na cidade imperial tem acesso vip aos céus? Será que os corpos soterrados em terras da realeza tem um final melhor que de Mariana ou Brumadinho? Em dias era para ter Carnaval. A festa nacional comandada pelo Rei Momo bebum, putanheiro, pilantrão e incompetente. A gente tola pensa que essa autoridade manda no país por só quatro dias. Mas se lembrarmos de nossa história, na verdade são pra mais de quatro séculos.
Sadly, unlike an earthquake, the disaster that befell Aberfan was avoidable. However, no one, including the authorities, or the Coal Board saw the potential danger of having huge hills of coal waste (coal slag) piled up behind a village. I was in school in Cardiff, South Wales when this immense tragedy happened. I still recall the TV reports of policemen, firemen and local people attempting to claw away the huge amounts of coal slag which engulfed the school and part of the village of Aberfan.
Prince Philip and Lord Snowdon attended on her behalf as the clean-up was a massive task and underfoot condition were very bad , there were thousands of rescuers, some were turned away . My father was one of the volunteers that went there mid-day of the disaster. The Queen went a week later and had been back four times since. A tree planted by her in the memorial garden.
@@sjfootball1692 what a load of rubbish . She was devastated by that disaster. And stated that she had wished she came there with Phillip. But the area was unstable for a week because of thousands of tons of waste was still unstable . The police stopped people from going there to help as Moy Road is a narrow road . The Crown is a TV show and NOT factual
Kesinlikle kömürlerin böyle bir yerde biriktirilmesi yanlış ancak okul neden orada neden maden ocağına yakın neden diğer tarafta değil bence bu olayda çok fazla kişinin sorumsuzluğu var
I agree why anyone would put a school there by a mine is beyond me dangerous springs to mind all those children lost their lives needlessly barely had a life I'm shocked and my heart goes out to all of those lost souls. Condolences to all your families. Is a school still there if it is id like to ask why? 🎉😢 rest in peace sweet angels.

i could have survived that. metal can’t melt. I would have put a stove on the ground, sat on it and road the waves of lava until it was cold and i can walk off it
Can you send me some of those drugs you are taking? metal can't melt? lava wave? I genuinely checked if you are not a 8 year old, because there is no way an grown adult would make such a idiotic comment. If done in humor it was utterly out of touch with reality.
@@peachblack_ai I’m not on drugs, the movie was about a true story of a volcano erupting. Lava spewed out and killed a lot of ppl. If they had thought like me, they would have all survived if they sat on ovens and stoves and fridges. i’m 29

Kids have nightmares, it doesn't stop them going to school. Are parents to stop their children going to school or anywhere because of a 'bad' dream?
This episode, along with the episode about the Bowes Lyon girls, hit me right in the feels. I was speechless once they both ended.
On the 50th anniversary I wandered round Basingstoke sobbing inconsolably like a loon. RIP young uns.

It was difficult for her to hijack this kind of event, it's all about photo ops for the royals.
Turn up at some kids home, shake hands, and have lots of photos taken where everyone comments about all the lovely expensive clothes they are wearing, ohh I love that coat, so stylish, not that most of them realise they're one off custom made designer items with a price tag in the tens of thousands.
But it matters not, they look good, they shook a few hands, they are the head of the charity.
All those working behind the scenes are unimportant, hey even the kids in the kids home are just props, nobody knows thier names or cares, but they only remember the name of the well dressed woman who was smiling for the camera at the poor urchin.
That's how it work's, Aberfan was a human tragedy, so a week was allowed to pass before arranging a visit, a visit she did not want to make..
She showed up at lockerbie under duress after Andrew made insensitive comments on TV about the terrorist event.
The monarchy who had close ties to gadaffi eventually secured the release of the lockerbie bomber.
Charles reffered to col gadaffi as your excellency, a word he only used for people he held in the highest regard.
Charles is a political animal, setting up deals, advising the government on policy change.
Only thing is he's unelected which is worrying

Como constrói uma escola bem na direção da lavra 😮😮😢tadinha das crianças 😢😢😢😢
Nossa esse esse episódio foi muito dolorido sofrido, esse hino que ela ouviu é muito triste, chorei muito.
A cidade imperial.
Ao contrário dos 5.568 municípios brasileiros, Petrópolis tem uma origem diferente, do camarote VIP . Pelo que sei, a cidade nasceu para ser um ar condicionado da coroa que subia a serra fugindo do Rio 40 graus, sem eletricidade e cervas geladas.
Por conta desta origem nobre, os moradores da cidade imperial ainda hoje tem que pagar um imposto extra chamado laudênio para a família real dos Orléans e Bragança que tem como hobby viver no passado e namora o fascismo.
Se a família real inglesa com rainha dura e tudo mais está cheia de ladrão, vadio e pedófilo imaginem a outras que levam a vida nas sombras. O que me recorda: Aberfan.
Aberfan, é o nome do mais tocante dos episódios do seriado The Crown e de uma aldeia de mineiros que em 1966 some depois avalanche de escória de carvão descer causada por chuva forte matando 144 pessoas, sendo 126 crianças. Após uns dias de desdém, sua magestade foi lá apertar a mão dos enlutados que tem ao menos a sorte de não serem brasileiros que só puderam acenar para o helicoptero do Messias.
Fico a imaginar se esse contribuintes mortos na cidade imperial tem acesso vip aos céus?
Será que os corpos soterrados em terras da realeza tem um final melhor que de Mariana ou Brumadinho?
Em dias era para ter Carnaval. A festa nacional comandada pelo Rei Momo bebum, putanheiro, pilantrão e incompetente. A gente tola pensa que essa autoridade manda no país por só quatro dias.
Mas se lembrarmos de nossa história, na verdade são pra mais de quatro séculos.
Does anyone know the song that the queen plays on the record player?

I couldn't even imagine what these people must have gone through losing their loved ones their and there children very sad. 🥺💖
did the company paid for their negligence
No. They will pay in Hell.
Now we live same thing in turkiye , earthquake destroy our 10 city
May you have the resilience to build back despite the magnitude of the tragedy.
Sadly, unlike an earthquake, the disaster that befell Aberfan was avoidable. However, no one, including the authorities, or the Coal Board saw the potential danger of having huge hills of coal waste (coal slag) piled up behind a village. I was in school in Cardiff, South Wales when this immense tragedy happened. I still recall the TV reports of policemen, firemen and local people attempting to claw away the huge amounts of coal slag which engulfed the school and part of the village of Aberfan.
Why didnt the Queen react? I mean over 100 kids died.
cos she didnt give a shit
Prince Philip and Lord Snowdon attended on her behalf as the clean-up was a massive task and underfoot condition were very bad , there were thousands of rescuers, some were turned away . My father was one of the volunteers that went there mid-day of the disaster. The Queen went a week later and had been back four times since. A tree planted by her in the memorial garden.
She never truly cared about anything that happened in Wales. Partly the reason why I was never affected by her death
@@sjfootball1692 what a load of rubbish . She was devastated by that disaster. And stated that she had wished she came there with Phillip. But the area was unstable for a week because of thousands of tons of waste was still unstable . The police stopped people from going there to help as Moy Road is a narrow road . The Crown is a TV show and NOT factual
She was not a good person. Cold, humourless and a protecter of child molesters.
Britain’s worst tragedy.
I learnt it only after watching this episode. heartbreaking
@@sumiliy1812 Yes it was, the whole of the UK cried.

Kesinlikle kömürlerin böyle bir yerde biriktirilmesi yanlış ancak okul neden orada neden maden ocağına yakın neden diğer tarafta değil bence bu olayda çok fazla kişinin sorumsuzluğu var
The school was probably built before the slag heaps. The real question is, why were the slag heaps there?
I agree why anyone would put a school there by a mine is beyond me dangerous springs to mind all those children lost their lives needlessly barely had a life I'm shocked and my heart goes out to all of those lost souls. Condolences to all your families. Is a school still there if it is id like to ask why? 🎉😢 rest in peace sweet angels.
RIP to the deceased ones. But why my newsfeeds are full of this event?

Esse foi o pior episódio pra me, chorei
How pitiful and trying to the queen
This is awful! That music drowns out everything!
The queen has no heart ore feelings for somebody else 'she is not human a puppet .🤬
This show seriously misrepresented the Queen here.
This is from actual accounts:
The delay in going to Aberfan attracted some criticism and years later the Queen's former private secretary, the late Lord Charteris, said he felt he had given her poor advice.
"We told her to stay away [from Aberfan] until the preliminary shock had worn off," he said, adding that it was the biggest regret of her reign.
But for those left mourning in the village there was nothing but love and respect for the Queen, who they felt helped them during their darkest hour.
"To come to Aberfan wouldn't have been appropriate," said Jeff Edwards, the last child to be rescued from the school, who the Queen always referred to as "the little boy with the blond hair".
"The trouble with any royal visit is that you have an entourage and it just takes over and the rescue work was still ongoing.
"To have her come down any earlier would have added to the utter confusion."
He said the tragedy clearly affected her and she was visibly moved as she walked down from the cemetery to a local house.
"When she went into that house she was really upset and she had to compose herself before she went on to meet the relatives and families who had lost children and relatives," added Mr Edwards, who went on to serve as an independent mayor of Merthyr Tydfil and council leader.
The Queen walked to Moy Road, the street that led to Pantglas Junior School, where mourners had gathered to meet her.
"She came across and spoke to us and I didn't think of her as royalty really," said Mary Morse.
Marilyn Brown, whose daughter Janette was killed aged 10, recalled: "You could see that she was quite emotional. You could see that she cared, you know."
"To me that day, she didn't come as the Queen, our monarch, she came as a mother, to sympathise, to empathise, to really appreciate what everybody had been through that day," added Denise Morgan.
Marjorie Collins, whose eight-year-old son Anthony Wayne died in the tragedy, said the Queen's visit had helped the community more than anything.
"They were above the politics and the din and they proved to us that the world was with us, and that the world cared," she said.
You need to read the account above, and then go look at the actual footage of her visit. The Queen was visibly upset.
I showed this to my 97 year old grandmother in Cardiff and told her it was actual footage 😂
🤡
Not at all sure how that's funny.

This music ruined the entire video
Not quite the right music, I agree...
i could have survived that. metal can’t melt. I would have put a stove on the ground, sat on it and road the waves of lava until it was cold and i can walk off it
You are absolutely tone deaf
Wave of lava? Think you missed the plot here?
Can you send me some of those drugs you are taking? metal can't melt? lava wave? I genuinely checked if you are not a 8 year old, because there is no way an grown adult would make such a idiotic comment. If done in humor it was utterly out of touch with reality.
@@Wardog-rf1tx how? it’s a volcano and lava spewed out…
@@peachblack_ai I’m not on drugs, the movie was about a true story of a volcano erupting. Lava spewed out and killed a lot of ppl. If they had thought like me, they would have all survived if they sat on ovens and stoves and fridges. i’m 29
