I remember speaking to a chap years ago who'd been in the pub (or cinema) that evening, and as the news filtered through South Wales men were going around and rounding up volunteers to go to the village to do what they could to help, be it dig, carry or whatever else they could do. They simply wanted to help save anyone who was left alive, or at least get the bodies of the dead out so they could be given a respectful burial.
