When in late 1966, LIFE magazine photo-journalist Chuck Rapoport all but imposed himself upon the colliery village of Aberfan as it began the agonising shift from shock to grief in the aftermath of losing a generation of its children to industrial disaster, he encountered a cold and threatening, angry hostility. It was borne out of the insensitivity with which some of his fellow writers and photographers had already conducted themselves towards people who had other, far more pressing priorities.
