  • In this video, we’re going to examine three of the worst disasters in human history. Frustratingly, two of these seem to have been entirely preventable, if not for a series of mistakes made by the people involved. Then, in contrast, the third story required a once-in-a-lifetime natural event to occur for what eventually transpired. Either way, in each of them, the effects were beyond devastating.

    I lived in the next valley to Aberfan, and some of my neighbours were retired miners who had responded to the alarm. The initially thought that it was an accident at the pit, when they arrived, of course the true nature and horror of what had occurred was evident. One elderly man told me how they desperately tried to get the kids out. It was heartbreaking. He was in tears, and this was 25 plus years on. The mine operators were told the spoil was moving and they did nothing. They put profit over people. It's so sad when you go there, so many little lives cut short in a horrific way, and no one was held accountable. The Aberfan disaster is a scar that still hasn't healed.😢

    Honestly you could do a series on the Welsh mining disasters, especially when you consider how negligent the mining companies were. Sengenydd is another one that springs to mind. The most fatal mining disaster in UK history. I'm sure the north of England has their fair share of stories as well. Even down to the manipulation of the miners. Paying in "tokens" that could only be cashed in at stores and small companies owned by the mine effectively creating a slave force as the mine company never had to hand over a penny to its workers. They became so greedy and made up pretty much all the non-regal wealth across the country. I can't speak for the rest of the country but certainly Wales, any grand building was pretty much a product of a rich mine owner.

      ​@@chendaforestI've not claimed the whole industry here. We're talking about specific mining villages. To not pay someone a monetary wage may as well be slavery. They had housing and shops provided by the mine with their own faux currency system. So any amenities were provided at the discretion of the mine. This meaning if the workers kicked up a fuss, the mine could take away literally everything from them, leaving them little to no rights they just had to be thankful for a roof and food and they couldn't leave because they had no money backing them. I'm sorry but that is effectively just a convoluted form of slavery. Some towns were better off than others where money could still be sent but not all.

They distract us with mind numbing social media, television, bad news, fear, youtube, and netflix.

I've visited the area for day hikes, and seeing the old foundations of the town, and the slowly decaying snow shed there is eerie. And midway along the snow shed, there is a memorial to those who perished, listing their names. Staring at that memorial while standing in the gloomy light of the snow shed is an almost otherworldly experience.

    Your timing of the cascade disaster is actually perfectly timed. In March here in 2024, similar conditions exist as were present back then. All winter, we had only had 1/2 of our average total snowfall in the Washington Cascades. However, by the end of this first weekend in March and in only the past two weeks, we will be back to our average snowfall total for the season with an unusually cold end of February. During this time, we had a day or two where, for a half a day, temperatures suddenly increased significantly, causing rain in the mountains before just as quickly dropping again and snow to returning.
    Having lived in the northwest my whole life, this is normal. Each winter, warm, wet air from California and the Pineapple Express plays a 24/7 chess game with Arctic air making its way down from Alaska and moisture just off the coast of the Pacific. This dance between rain and snow makes avalanches normal and something governments watch around the clock, closing highways triggering avalanches, clearing them and reopening the highway all while each year more of the highway is covered by tunnels and changed to decrease further disruptions.
    In case anyone is wondering, Artillery shells fired from canons or dropped by helicopter are used to cause the controlled avalanches.

    As someone who's lived in Wales their whole life, the Aberfan mining disaster is something we have learnt about many times. The first time we were taught about it was in primary school, and I remember we were told about a teacher who used her body to shield multiple children from the incoming debris. We were also taught about it again in secondary, even going on school trips and listening to the story of some of the miners.

      I do sort of feel bad for folks outside the Evergreen State. We have some weird names for most people. Washougal. Asotin. Pend Oreille. Issaquah. Chelan. Puyallup. Snoqualmie. Tukwila. Enumclaw. Wastucna. Hoquiam. Okanagan. Pe Ell. Cle Elum. Toppenish. ...And by 'weird,' I mean cool as heck. Spokane has gotten really onboard with work with the Spokane Tribe to rename landmarks with Salish names. The event hall at the remodeled library, for example, is nxʷyxʷyetkʷ Hall. I love it, I hope we continue naming things people outside the region will have no hope of getting right. We're a modest state-we have to keep ourselves entertained somehow. And what better way to foster unity amidst our oft divided politics than to come together and bitch about how no one says the names right? (◡‿◡✿)

That was also cause by unusually heavy late winter weather and worsened by logging on the slopes above the town.
