21 October 1966. Aberfan, Wales. 144 die after a coal mine waste tip collapsed, crashing into a school below.

You cannot seriously still believe that's what anyone is saying.

You literally just said it. You're also lecturing someone with 10 generations of coal miners in the family on mine safety.

People who think that nuclear energy is unsafe and/or that coal is safer are imaginary? Is that what you're saying?

Mostly I'm saying that you may be denser than a lump of good quality coal. Stay away from naked flames.

You have devoted, what, four or five comments to contradicting something literally no one has said. I have been addressing the reputation of safety of nuclear power versus coal. The latter is a real conversation, the former is not.

I think you may need some reading lessons, and maybe some counting classes. All I did was point out that 1) Aberfan existed because of the mine, and was built around it, 2) all working class jobs in this era were unsafe, and 3) nuclear energy and its relative safety has nothing to do with the Aberfan disaster.
