Families of four miners who perished in the 2011 Gleision colliery disaster in South Wales will have to wait until 2026 for a complete inquest into their deaths. The tragedy occurred when water flooded the mine after a controlled blast. Despite the long wait for answers, family representatives expressed cautious optimism as progress has now been made. Coroner Edward Ramsay emphasized the thoroughness of the investigation, stating a need to understand the circumstances surrounding the flooding and the failures of the initial response.
