You could try the official report on the disaster by the Mining
Inspectorate, published by HMSO. I can't remember exact details of
date, etc but I am sure a decent librarian could help you track it
down. I remember an ex-mine rescue man telling me that a film was
made about the disaster (The Brave Don't Cry?), but I have no idea if
this is right and I suspect you will not find a copy in your local
video store!. Others may know more about this than me.
