Marking the 38th Anniversary of the Buffalo Creek Disaster
On Feb. 26, 1972, a coal-waste dam at the head of a crowded West Virginia hollow burst. A wall of sludge, debris and water tore through the valley below, leaving in its wake 125 dead and 4,000 homeless. The Pittston Company, owners of the dam, maintained that the disaster was “an act of God.” In response Appalshop filmmaker Mimi Pickering produced "The Buffalo Creek Flood: An Act of Man," which powerfully portrays the impact of the disaster. Ten years later she returned to the creek to document the continuing disaster in “Buffalo Creek Revisited.” » »
