Having worked at a cemetery for several years (many years ago), I can assure you that pretty much no one is ever buried "six feet under"; not even to the bottom of the hole. Let-alone there being six feet of dirt above a casket's lid. There are several reason why it is unlikely that burying anyone that deep would have ever been common practice. The most obvious one is: a hole that shape is potentially going to collapse-in, from the longer sides, if dug that deep. If there is an existing burial next to the one you're digging, this would be almost certain to occur. Shoring would be necessary. And, pre-backhoes, you'd be looking at several days work; each grave. Most graves are "shovel-handle-deep", to the bottom of the hole.
Just dig it and right away throw me down there fuck the coffin, back in the wild west days they dug 6 foot holes because they thought the body would rise as a zombie or ghost.
To think the idea/practice of 6 feet all started from a particularly bad outbreak of Bubonic plague. They thought it would spread from the corpses so the city officials required that depth and they often were shared. Too many people were dying too quickly and they didn't have the time or energy to bury them individually. So maybe those graves actually were 6 feet since they were mass graves..? 🤷🏽♀️
@@nicolina1026 Perhaps in _some_ cases. In other cases they raised mounds. This would be a somewhat shallow hole or pit, with multiple remains laid within, and the dirt placed atop. The end result would look like a man-made hill. In many other cases though, they were simply burned in pits. Such pits would remain open throughout an epidemic, and the fires re-lit at-need. Eventually the pit would be covered over; probably by the same dirt that was dug out of it; the end result again, being a man-made hill or mound.
Death. Wet soil is heavier. Even normal soil has thousands of pounds of pressure. You couldn't possibly move. These are the facts in case you try something stupid some day.
@@gerard4039 Also means: Not falling down on you. You could take the dirt out from on top of you and compact it at your feet. There's enough space in the casket for you, so there should be enough for a hole your size. Would have been an interesting experiment.
I've always had a problem with their depth. If the hole is 6 feet deep, then the coffin is really only 3.5 - 4 feet to the surface. But Beatrix was buried on top of the original coffin. So maybe only 2 feet from the surface. So when he dug his way out with 2 feet of dirt, it made the Myth plausible, or even confirmed.
As the announcer said, that may have been true if she was buried at the depth in the original coffin, but I think Michael Madsen built his own brand new coffin just for Beatrix. Unless he used balsa would, I’m not sure if any human could realistically punch through a coffin like that.
@*_No Videos_* sorry i dont get what you mean. Mind explaining? The pressure from the outside is already there and with you getting in more dirt the pressure will rather equalise than become greater or am I not thinking right?
*_No Videos_* you’d be suprised how compact dirt is just a foot down. Most dirt will not fall like it did in this video and will actually hold its shape. It’s more likely you’d actually need tools to dirt upwards and out.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought caskets were buried in a hole 6 feet deep. That would mean they AREN'T "under" 6 feet of dirt. The top of the casket would be closer to 4 feet down, unless you were dumb enough to try to dig out through the bottom of the casket. That would be under 6 feet of dirt.
Actually most exceptionally newer cemeteries require the casket to be put in concrete vault. If that's the case hopefully you were buried with a chisel and hammer. With at least 18" inches of cover over the top of the vault. The bottom of a hole should be avout 5' 6" to 6' max deep.
@@Johnnyy832 think person think. Again places like Arizona do get rain. And In fact since it gets less rain flooding is even more of an issue. No one cares if the casket gets crushed. And again it take years for such things to happen if at all. Rich people use above ground and cemented graves. But the logic you are using is wrong a factually incorrect as I work in this field.
@@StarFinderWebb You've contradicted yourself, Phoenix is ~331m above sea level. Yet you stated: "they only do that in area's under sea level". Now you're changing your position, to fit your argument. I have contacted cemeteries here in Phoenix, AZ. They all stated the same thing, they require a vault to prevent caving in to keep the cemeteries grounds in good condition. Otherwise they would have mounds going up and down.
Well, after working on a cemetery, I can tell you the casket doesnt go straight into the ground. There is first a vault lowered in the ground, traditionally made of cement, and only then is the casket lowered into position. The reason for this is, for some reason, there are some instances where it needs dug up and moved. The vault protects the occupant and the casket material from moisture, or any other kind of damage. Furthermore, there are different layers of material, and water on top of the then-closed casket vault and is tamped and packed tight under many pounds of pressure. Gravel, shale, course dirt, then top soil. Water seeps in to all the cracks because of the ground water that comes with an ordinary graveyard or cemetery from the ground being generally flat or level. Myth is totally, undeniably, debunked.
Yes but....in the movie, they DUG UP an existing grave, and THEN placed Kiddo's coffin ON TOP of an existing coffin/box. So, under only 4 feet of dirt. Regardless of that... after seeing what difficulty Tory had with only 2 feet, I am sure a 4 foot layer of dirt would have also resulted in a failure.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, This is my worst nightmare, And it’s probably yours too. But seriously waking up in your casket 6 feet underground sounds terrifying
Just another reason to get cremated instead. Cheaper than a full burial, and if you somehow reach that stage without actually being dead you will be much faster than if you woke up 6 feet under.
@@mysterybox9250 You know the Kill Bill burial scene was based on a pre existing idea of escaping from a coffin right? You know coffins existed before Kill Bill right?
If you even break the dirt,the dirt wouldn’t just topple on top of you because its compact and it would be harder to break the wood cause there’s weight on top of the casket making it harder to pin point your punch.
When I die I’m gonna request to be buried with multiple fully charged cellphones as well as maybe have my casket be above ground so I can call someone if I am somehow alive
Just think about it all of the billions of people who died a couple of them probably woke up in there casket screaming and yelling for help and no one can hear them
In the 19th century some casket had a mechanism attached to a bell above ground so if someone were trapped they can ring the bell and hopefully catch the attention of someone and let themselves be saved. Wonder why we dont continue this...
think about all the people who have died a couple of them probably regained consciousness and were alive in the casket for like 15 minutes or so. how scary would that be
Wet soil could be easier to climb out of because it wouldn't just collapse on you. The hard part is, first, breaking the lid. Some coffins are built well, you know. Then you'll have to dig a little dirt out and start making a good hole that you can compact by just pushing the dirt out on the sides for stability. Rinse and repeat: dig dirt out of the hole, place in coffin, compact the hole as much as you can, but chances are you'll just end up with a coffin full of dirt, low on oxygen, and a hole too narrow to escape out of.
The dirt isn't as tightly packed in the movie. In the movie, she finds a hollow part of the casket to break through which means the soil has a lot of rock in it meaning that there is a fair amount of air and space in the dirt unlike in this test.
I want them to reverse engineer how strong a vampire would actually have to be to get out from a standard well built coffin 6 feet under. It'd be an interesting mathematical analysis for all those vampire shows on TV. The vampire doesn't need to worry about breathing, of course, but he does have to deal with the firmly sealed coffin and all the pressure of the dirt. His body also has to be tough enough to withstand the crushing weight.

because most of those myths cant be done in actual scenario. all they have to do is create a similar scenario, but not actual, so yeah you can forgive them for that.
@@TRPG-gw6rx ummm because in a real life situation there is dirt around the coffin as well which would be more solid as it hasn't been dug out? if you can barely break through the lid, you have zero chance of kicking out one of the sides. That was a pretty special needs thing to say tbh
all the funerals I have been to there is the casket that goes into a concrete vault then after everybody leaves the vault lid gets lowered on then covered in dirt, no chance of getting out of that
Snow Hardens into ice when moved doesn’t Take away the fact that I doubt anyone can punch through a Woden roof of a casket with dirt on it when they have less than 8 inches of space for the arms to do it
The reason the robot broke the lid out of and under the dirt... But never broke through... Robots range of motion. The punch stops in the same position each time instead of punching through the target. And these are scientists! 🤣
Actually you’re casket/coffin (whichever you choose to be buried in there is a difference) takes up roughly 2-3 feet of the 6 feet therefore your only have to get out of 3 feet not 6.
Can you escape a vase after being cremated?

They'd be buried by the dirt, sure. But since they're dead, they'd probably keep trying to dig. Eventually, unlike a human, they'd get out, since there's no worry for death.

because most of those myths cant be done in actual scenario. all they have to do is create a similar scenario, but not actual, so yeah you can forgive them for that.
R.i.p Grant
They should have tried opening it from the side so less dirt would get in
Koos Naamloos are you special needs
@@TRPG-gw6rx ummm because in a real life situation there is dirt around the coffin as well which would be more solid as it hasn't been dug out?
if you can barely break through the lid, you have zero chance of kicking out one of the sides. That was a pretty special needs thing to say tbh
all the funerals I have been to there is the casket that goes into a concrete vault then after everybody leaves the vault lid gets lowered on then covered in dirt, no chance of getting out of that
No u cant escape because u dont get buried with all that gear any way
The only myth busters I know are Adam and Dave
Well, you can’t dig through a couple feet of snow I doubt dirt will be any easier
Snow Hardens into ice when moved doesn’t
Take away the fact that I doubt anyone can punch through a Woden roof of a casket with dirt on it when they have less than 8 inches of space for the arms to do it
Sad, Grant is in a coffin right now.
Yeah this is cool and stuff but people that are actually trying to dig there way out in real life don’t have masks and suits
BoldExploring that was just a safety solution so he wouldn’t die if something went wrong, in real life it’s life or death anyways
CoyeK I guess
You can also eat mouthfuls of soil then poop it out on the far end of the coffin
Didn’t mythbusters do this
runforitman no
I’m funny please
Wouldn't work in a wet area. Wet soil is like cement
When you are put in a casket u wint have that mask so it would never work
....well, this hits different now...
🙄
What is with all the first comments nobody cares :/
Birds Eye I know! What is so damn important about this? I'll never understand it.
First
Majority of cemeteries require a concrete burial vault . Had this been tested properly, there’s literally 0 chance.
RIP GRANT
Why you dont punch on sides then go up slowly
Just imagine there is someone that is buried alive right now
Just watching this made me feel claustrophobic
Jimmy Mayer ikr
this is like a saw trap
Good luck getting through the cement crypt
This experiment looks so dangerous
Should’ve wetted the dirt a bit so it sticks together more like the compacted dirt in a cemetery
If I woke up in a casket, uhhh yeah. I’d be under a lot of pressure to get out.
The reason the robot broke the lid out of and under the dirt... But never broke through... Robots range of motion. The punch stops in the same position each time instead of punching through the target. And these are scientists! 🤣
We need to redo this Kill Bill myth.
Properly this time.
Yes, the social pressure to escape a casket is immense.
Only one problem tho. Soil isn't that lose dirt would be flattened out and the grass around it should keep most of the dirt from falling like it did
My claustrophobic insticts are acheing real hard
Actually you’re casket/coffin (whichever you choose to be buried in there is a difference) takes up roughly 2-3 feet of the 6 feet therefore your only have to get out of 3 feet not 6.
You’re not supposed to punch it out, you use your feet and kick it
