*NOTE: During the premature TV transmission, there may have been other factory workers killed, but we only included the nine shown onscreen. Also, we don't know the aftermath of what happened at the end of the film, and if the third commercial was stopped in time by Challis. If so, no one else would need to be added to the list. If not, then the "hills may have ran red with the blood of animals and children".
