Questions

Calabar accidents — FAQ

Where do the Calabar accident reports come from?

From news coverage: every 15 minutes the site reads GDELT, Google News and GNews for accident headlines, and a gazetteer of world cities places a headline on the map when it names a city. A report is listed here when that place is within 65 km of central Calabar and Calabar is the nearest large city to it. These are news reports, not police records: the same headline syndicated by several outlets is counted once, but separate stories about one accident still count separately, and headlines without accident words or from law-firm press releases are left out.

How many accidents happen in Calabar?

No news report placed near Calabar in the last 60 days. That does not mean there were no accidents — only that none reached the news sources this site reads with a place name the gazetteer recognised.
