Each row is one emergency as ANM registers it. The mine's name is shown without the name of whoever works it, and the holder the register prints is never shown. The expediente is the one ANM prints. "Reported, not attended" marks emergencies ANM registered without its team attending.

The lessons-learned records and the press releases are ANM's own layers, smaller than the register; one emergency can appear in all three.
““ El 5 de diciembre de 2017, era un día de trabajo como de costumbre, mi hermano que era el encargado de esa mina estaba con ocho trabajadores adentro cuando se prendió una chispa y por la acumulación de gas metano que había en el lugar se generó la detonación que les quitó la vida ”, narra Sebastián, quien se encontraba afuera de la mina, donde fue alcanzado por el impacto de la explosión, tirándolo tres metros de donde estaba y dejándolo inconsciente por varios minutos.”
Each event is what one ANM press release states, with the sentence it rests on quoted verbatim. Tolls in a rescue-in-progress release are provisional; a later release about the same event is a separate entry. The count is a floor.
