Not just dangerous for the miners too. Aberfan had a major effect on the UK. A slag heap near the village collapsed, burying a school and killing 144, almost all of them schoolchildren

The Crown did for Aberfan what Watchmen did for Tulsa.
Haven't seen either, I assume the Crown covered the emotional effect on the Queen, no idea what Watchmen is - it's the film with the glowing man with a dong isn't it?

To me, Tulsa is either 24 hours away, or the place Chandler went to for Christmas in Friends.

Is the HBO series with the glowing man.

It is not about the 1921 massacre of 300 blacks in Tulsa, but that serves as the backstory.

Both shows are first rate TV.

Namely?
Making the world aware of the major tragedies that happened there.
