Remembering the Aberfan disaster
'All I could hear were screams and shouts that got less and less as time went by.'
It's fifty years to the day since a great mountain of waste slid onto the village of Aberfan and crushed the primary school. Fifty years and the world still remembers. Not just because of what happened - so many children buried alive - but because of why it happened.
John Humphrys has been back to the Welsh village of Aberfan to speak to those who remember.
