11 September.

 A dark day 20 years ago. I don't need to add to what was said about that.

A dark day 48 years ago. When an elected Allende was deposed in a military coup by Pinochet.

A dark day in 1878. When 268 men and boys died out of 325 workers at the Abercarn colliery .

That was almost 10 per cent of the population of Abercarn, Cwmcarn and Risca put together ( circa 3,400 in 1881)
