Families Await Inquest Results 15 Years After South Wales Mine Disaster
The inquest into the deaths of four miners who died in the Gleision Drift Mine flood in 2011 will not take place until 2026, extending the families’ 15-year wait for answers. The tragedy occurred after a controlled explosion flooded the mine, leading to a two-day rescue that proved futile. Families expressed hope for clarity regarding the incident, which has remained unresolved for over a decade. The coroner assured that the investigation will be thorough and focused on discovering the cause of the catastrophic flooding.
