    The Aberfan episode of #TheCrown is just superb. Absolutely horrifying, as it should be. Amazes me how few people seem to know about that tragedy nowadays

        I think they dealt with it so well. I hope the fantastic and inspiring Aberfan "mams" feel it's sensitive to their tragedy. It still frustrates me that nobody was held accountable. A legacy for Wales that is so sad.

        I'm from a couple of miles away. My father, Uncles and neighbours all went to dig. You can't get any of them to talk about it.

        I’m about half way through it. I’ve worked with some of the welsh actors in it, some of them local to Aberfan. It’s very well thought out & beautifully shot. I was absolutely not expecting that.

        It really sounds like they did everything possible to be sensitive. Must have been hard to film

        I’m 38 and I live in Kansas, and majored in history in college. I’m so sad to say I had never heard of this great tragedy until today 😞
