-The Valleys -have always been my home. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
-Each valley with its industrial -scars and colourful characters... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |
-..have left -a lasting impression on me. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
-Over the coming weeks... | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
-..I'll revisit the Valleys... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
-..and meet characters -who are naturally welcoming. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
-Why not jump on board my ride? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
-I'm shifting gear -and heading for the horizon! | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
-The Cynon Valley lies between -the Rhondda and Merthyr. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
-It's home to Aberdare -and Mountain Ash. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
-The coal industry has left its scars -on this outskirts of this valley... | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
-..with Ynysowen and Aberfan -being the worst affected areas. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
-My journey commences up the road, -along an old drovers route. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
-I pass St Cynog's Church... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-..and head to the Lamb Hotel -in Penderyn. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-This is a historic place, Phil. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-How old is it? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
-There's been a pub in this village -for over 400 years. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
-Really? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
-Really? - -Yes. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
-There are references of an inn -on this site dating back to 1620. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
-We have a Blue Plaque -on the exterior of the pub. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-It commemorates a historical event -that occurred here. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
-Lewis 'The Huntsman', -or Lewis Lewis... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-..was with his comrades in Merthyr. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
-Events unfolded -and a riot broke out. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-It's believed that Lewis -was seized and escorted here. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-Yes, he was caught in a forest -between here and Ystradfellte. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
-It was late in the night... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-..and they didn't want -to take him back to Merthyr... | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
-..in case they were ambushed. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-Therefore, he was incarcerated... | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-..in the cellar beneath us. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-As you walk down the steps... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-..you can feel a chill -that sends shivers down your spine. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-It makes you feel uncomfortable. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-There's are lights here now... | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
-..but Lewis was thrown -into a dark, cold cellar... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-..and left to face -an uncertain future. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-What would be his fate? | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-Would he be sent back to Merthyr -or Cardiff? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-Fortunately, -Lewis escaped execution... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-..and was extradited -to the other side of the world. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-He never returned, -but his life was spared. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-Another local attraction is one of -the world's smallest distilleries. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
-Penderyn Whisky -was founded 15 years ago. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
-It exports -the golden tipple worldwide. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-The earliest record for whisky -distillation occurred in Wales. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
-But the Welsh -weren't natural entrepreneurs... | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-..so the custom reached -Ireland and Scotland... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
-..in the same way as stout. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-At the turn of the last century, -there was a distillery at Frongoch. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
-But it closed -due to a lack of funds... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-..and pressures of the -Welsh Revival led by Evan Roberts. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-They preached against rugby -and drinking alcohol. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-I was almost a director -of this company. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-My accountant said -"Welsh whisky? You must be mad! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-"On a risk factor of one to ten, -it's a twelve!" | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-I've regretted it ever since. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-This isn't a jalopy -but definitely a Ferrari. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-The distillery was the aspiration of -three gentlemen at a pub in Hirwaun. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
-But it didn't evolve overnight. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-There are several regulations -in the process of making whisky. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-The whisky -has to mature in an oak cask. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-Maturation takes three years. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
-And a day. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
-And a day. - -Yes. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
-We transfer the whisky -from a bourbon cask... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
-..to an old wine cask... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-..such as bourbon, -Madeira, port or sherry. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-It enriches the flavour. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-This is the original -Madeira single malt whisky. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-The whiskies are presented -in a specially designed package. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
-Yes, they are. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-It's unique. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-Yes, we employ a Welsh designer -from Barry who is based in London. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-He's a board member who also designs -the bottles, packaging and branding. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:22 | |
-It's a powerful brand. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:24 | |
-This worldwide brand -hasn't forgotten its roots... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
-.and this is reflected -in their produce. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-There are buttons and levers -everywhere but I won't touch them! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-Take us through the process. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-Where do you start? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
-The initial stage -is similar to brewing. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-We produce a barley wash -or a strong beer that's 8% alcohol. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
-First, we grind the barley... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-..then place it in a mash tun -and add some water. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
-The barley releases a sugar. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
-We drain off the liquid and -it goes into a fermentation tank. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-The yeast ferments for three days... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-..and the sugar -is converted into alcohol. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-It's like a brewery. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
-The final step in the process is -that the spirit is stored in casks. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
-The company has developed. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-We sell in France and Germany... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-..across Europe, -America and the Middle East. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
-It's exciting how we've evolved. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-This place is fantastic and raises -your spirits in more ways than one! | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
-The Cynon Valley -is proud of its Welsh character... | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
-..but the number of people -speaking Welsh has fallen. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-It's inspired one gentleman -to return to the area. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-It's an impressive looking school -from the main road. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
-How big is it? | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-We teach around 1,000 pupils -but the school is expanding. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
-There are more children -in our local primary schools. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-It seems that more people -have returned to the Valleys. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-Mountain Ash Comprehensive -isn't a Welsh-medium school. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-No, it's an English school. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
-As a supporter -of the Welsh language... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-..isn't it natural for you to work -as a headmaster in a Welsh school? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
-I'm often asked this question. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-I've been involved in teaching -second-language Welsh for years. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
-I feel comfortable -in this type of school... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-..and it also inspires me. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-I want to teach Welsh -as a second-language... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-..and foster -a Welsh ethos in the school. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
-I've tried to implement this -from the onset. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-Great. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-Well done, boys! Carry on. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-Huw is active in the community and -coaches football to under elevens. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:28 | |
-There are three coaches -and fifteen players. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-The team is named after this pub, -The Llwyncelyn Inn. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-It's a bilingual establishment -with a Welsh-speaking landlord. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
-It acts as our base. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-What position do you play, Emyr? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-What position do you play, Emyr? - -I'm a midfielder. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
-You've got two jobs. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
-You move forward, back -as well as defend. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-What position are you, Dafs? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
-What position are you, Dafs? - -I'm a right-winger. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |

-How many children do you coach? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |

-Yes, fifteen. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-It's great to chat with you. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
-It's great to chat with you. - -Thank you. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
-Have you been to Greece at all? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-Down the road in Aberdare... | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-..another tutor -actively promotes the language. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-But her roots lie further afield. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-How do you say, -"more friendly than"? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
-Are you from the capital of Iran? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-Yes, I was born in Tehran. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-I was raised in Tehran -until we moved when I was ten. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
-I couldn't speak English -when we moved to Cambridge. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
-Did your interest in Welsh derive -from your background in languages? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
-When we decided to move -to Aberdare... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-..both of us were eager -to learn the Welsh language. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:23 | |
-In my opinion, if I moved to Russia -I'd learn Russian... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
-..so it seemed like -a natural step to take. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
-I do share an interest -in languages... | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-..but I also wanted -to feel part of both cultures. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:42 | |
-You speak perfect Welsh. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-It's so good -that it puts me to shame! | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-It really does. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |

-We're in the Cynon Valley -and this is the River Cynon. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-The locals aren't ostentatious -as you can see from the iron bridge. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
-There are longer iron bridges in -the world, but this is the oldest. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
-It was constructed in 1811 -at the Abernant Ironworks... | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-..to carry iron from Llwydcoed. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-Freight trams ran across this bridge -and were unloaded onto canal boats. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
-They set sail for Abercynon, the -Glamorganshire Canal and to Cardiff. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:38 | |
-This bridge is short, -old and willing. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
-It's just like me! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-Trecynon has certainly changed. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-It's beautiful. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-Hidden on an industrial estate -between Aberdare and Mountain Ash... | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
-..stands a huge building that -fills a vast area like a hangar. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-This enormous shed stores -the lavish costumes and sets... | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
-..for The Royal Opera House in Londo | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
-The paraphernalia in the building -is worth a small fortune. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-The props tour the world for -the Royal Opera House's productions. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
-Where are these items sent? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-Where are these items sent? - -Everywhere. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |

-Wherever. Russia. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-And back and forth to London. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
-And back and forth to London. - -Yes. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:54 | |
-We arrive and might have received -an email from Sarasota... | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-..requesting a set -for an Alice In Wonderland ballet. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
-It's removed from storage, cleaned, -assembled and packed into boxes. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:09 | |
-We send it to the performances -in Sarasota, Madrid or France... | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
-..or anywhere else. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
-Nobody's listening, so can you -tell me if you get cheap tickets? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
-Yes, they're free. Hush! | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-The costumes usually tour the world -with the performances. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
-Today, -the performance has come home. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-It's exactly 150 years... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
-..since the Mimosa set sail -for The Colony in Patagonia. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-Many passengers were from the Cynon -Valley, Mountain Ash and Aberdare. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
-Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru, -National Theatre Wales and S4C... | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
-..have collaborated -for a special drama. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-"Sweetly, to fill our mind." | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-You're the creative spirit -behind this project, Marc. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
-Why choose this building? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-It wasn't the building -but the location... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-..as 66 of the original pioneers -came from Mountain Ash or Aberdare. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-It's a huge amount when you think -the Mimosa only had 153 passengers. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
-We wanted a chapel but needed -somewhere with a lot more space. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
-We almost gave up looking... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-..until we drove past -the Royal Opera House sign. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
-It happened like that. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
-Sian, the producer and me -knocked the door and that was it. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
-It's flying the flag for the area -as many locals don't know it's here. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-I think the Royal Opera House... | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-..realizes that it needs -to work at this relationship. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
-It needs to open its doors. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
-They have supported us because it -means that locals can come here... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-..to see our drama -and admire the location. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
-The crew is local -and part of this production. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
-I felt that it was important for us -to gain local support for the show. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
-It's interesting how valley folk -in their close communities... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
-..naturally support each other -and share a history. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-As I travel to the Taff Valley... | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
-..there are echoes of a period that -united the valley with the world. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:39 | |
-I was the director of the daily -television programme called Heddiw. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
-I was in the office at 10.00am -discussing the day's programme... | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
-..that aired in the afternoon. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-But we received a phone call... | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-..and I darted over to Aberfan. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-I vividly recall -the unsettling silence. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
-Everything was still and quiet. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-The nearby colliery -had come to a complete standstill. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:16 | |
-I couldn't see the school -but suddenly spotted a large mound. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:22 | |
-You could only see men -tunnelling through the debris... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
-..with picks, shovels -and even their hands. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:32 | |
-An outside broadcast unit -arrived at the scene... | 0:16:33 | 0:16:39 | |
-..and was able to get -a signal back to Cardiff. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
-Owen Edwards -arrived shortly after me. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-Mr S O Davies, you've been a MP -for Merthyr Tydfil for 30 years. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-Have you witnessed -anything like this before? | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-I've never seen anything like it -in this country. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-During the week, we asked ourselves -"what are we going to say?" | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
-What was there to say? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
-These were children -and it was completely unexpected. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
-I remember Owen was able -to compose a few words... | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-..that referred to the children -rather than the disaster. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
-Do you know how many of your Sunday -School children have been lost? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
-I haven't counted yet -but I'll know by tomorrow. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-In the afternoon, -a host of reporters arrived. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:40 | |
-There were representatives from -America, Japan and other places. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:46 | |
-From a journalistic point of view... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-..I was just breaking -into television reporting. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-But following the tragedy... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-..I decided that -I wasn't cut out for the role. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
-I don't think -that I was objective enough. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
-Throughout the week... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
-..I just wanted to grab a shovel -and do something... | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
-..instead of standing there -and reporting about it. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
-I'll never forget -seeing a long line of fathers... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
-..standing outside -Bethania Chapel... | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-..waiting to go inside -to identify their children... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:36 | |
-..who were laid out in the chapel. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-It's the saddest thing -I've ever witnessed... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-..and it will haunt me -for the rest of my life. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-At 4.00pm on that Friday, -I received a message. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
-My second child had been born... | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
-..in a hospital in Cardiff. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
-I set off towards Cardiff... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
-..whilst reeking of coal dust. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-I held my second-born in my arms. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
-Her birthday... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-Siwan's birthday -is more than just a celebration. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
-Yes, it is. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
-It's a remembrance. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-And that's... | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-Can we do this again? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-To commemorate the tragedy... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
-..a memorial garden was opened -on the site of Pantglas School. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
-The garden's design replicates -the classroom layout from 1966. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:56 | |
-Geoff Edwards -was one of the final survivors... | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
-..and the horrific memories -continue to haunt him today. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
-This is the sight of the school. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-This is where Pantglas School was... | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-..and where it was destroyed -on 21 October 1966. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
-The green areas -represent the classrooms. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
-And this classroom here? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
-This was Standard 2 -which was the class I was in. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
-We came in and registered. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
-I went to the windows on -the far side nearest to the tip... | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
-..and picked up -Herge's Adventures of Tin-Tin. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
-I walked back -through the corridor of desks... | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-..and sat down for Maths, -our first lesson of the day. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-Next, we saw the lights -swinging from one side to the other. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
-It was a Victorian school -with high ceilings. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
-Then, I remember waking up -covered in all this material. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
-My right leg was in the radiator... | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
-..and there was a girl -on my left shoulder. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-I was trapped with -a desk against my stomach. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
-From the hall here... | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-..the fire brigade broke into -the classroom via the windows. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-They came in -and spotted my white hair... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
-..and started to dig around me. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
-The roof had fallen through -and you could see the sky. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
-There were shouts and screams -that became less and less. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
-I was fortunate as I had a pocket -of air around me and could breathe. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
-Had I been changing my library book -when the tip came down... | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
-..I wouldn't be here today -giving you this interview. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
