Had the government's instructions to the National Coal Board of the time to undertake a complete assessment of tip safety then tip 7 in Aberfan would have been found to be unsafe. Locals often voiced concerns over the site and the fact that there was a natural spring running beneath which in time would and did cause a catastrophe

This is an unanswerable question. There is no way to count "deaths that could have been prevented," let alone deaths that could have been prevented by an indirect correlate.
The statue built in memory of the miners who were killed in the Aberfan disaster is called the "Aberfan Memorial." This memorial honors the 144 lives lost when a coal tip collapsed on the village of Aberfan, Wales, in 1966. It serves as a poignant reminder of the tragedy and the community's resilience in the face of such loss.
