Heavy rain had been pounding the village for days and over time filled a tip containing coal waste, situated high above the village. Within minutes, the coal tip had slid down the mountain, engulfing a farm, several houses and a school, and ultimately killing 28 adults and 116 children. It was a man-made disaster, the likes of which had not seen before, and which attracted the attention of the world's media. Aberfan would become synonymous with tragedy as the small, close-knit village mourned the loss of an entire generation of children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Children of Aberfan\u003c\/i\u003e those who were actually there - rescuers, parents, teachers, neighbors and children - tell the  full story of the tragic event. Moving and simply told, in the voices of the people on the ground, it is a story about a grieving community, about a disaster long foretold but ignored by those in power; and about the heroism and dignity of those who were left behind.","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52119333830885,"sku":"NP9781800963047","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-children-of-aberfan-a-heart-breaking-true-story-of-loss-community-and-courage-isbn-9781800963047","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
