On October 21, 1966, a coal waste tip collapsed onto the Welsh village of Aberfan, burying a school and killing 144 people — most of them children. But in the days and weeks before the tragedy, strange warnings surfaced: a little girl’s dream of blackness engulfing her classroom, eerie drawings, and letters describing disaster. This is the haunting true story of the Aberfan disaster — a devastating man-made tragedy, and the chilling claims that some saw it coming before the mountain gave way.
