They sell giant metal sci-fi caskets and concrete burial vaults to people thinking they will preserve their corpse forever, for no logical reason at all. Ironic how it buckled in immediately. Whatever happened to earth-to-earth and ashes-to-ashes?
Many cemeteries require a sturdy vault over the coffin to reduce the settling of the ground should the coffin collapse. Unexpected expense in 2016 when my father died, more expected but more expensive when my mother died the next year.
Well the collapsing coffin does apply to earth to earth, ashes to ashes saying. Once the coffin fills with with dirt, they will quickly become one with the earth.
About a month ago a childhood friend passed away and one really big memory that I had was watching mythbusters in his house. This is the episode I remembered from childhood watching in his living room. I miss you old friend. RIP
Times change, I remembered my child hood part watching this episode as well.. its sad but keep looking forward. You're still here to do better or achieve something great in your own personal scale.
They keep us over water as long as we keep them in our minds. Thinking of someones who's not here anymore is hard, but remember their presence and their spiritual meaning that you had for them and you'll stay with. They don't want us to meet so soon, they learned what we didn't. In any damn case, for sure.
I feel like it contributes to the underlying understanding of mortality. Like it's always buzzing in the background but occasionally we're reminded: Oh yeah, I'm not gonna be here forever.
The stuff they are doing doesn’t feel dated but some ways they would do it would be different now I was watching one the other day and thought how much a 3D printer would help them
@@southeastcoastalphotography Modern day MythBusters would use 3D printing all the time, it would be interesting to see. But at the same time... Seeing them make stuff "the hard way" with casts, sculpting, and stuff was always fun.
A lot of the deathcare industry is a scam. Most people don't need embalming but many mortician insist that you must. They'll guilt you into buying the most expensive casket "don't you care about your grandma? She's going to be in there a long time" Most caskets rot to nothing in a few years. The only time a armour plated reinforced coffin with drainage holes is needed is when you plan to dig them back up (seriously I've seen first hand what happens when a casket suffers a catastrophic structural failure while doing that... a coworker got covered in cadaver soup. That had been fermenting for about a year... I was glad I was out of the splash zone
It is not so much the coffin - not in most cases, anyway (the whole platinum/other-rare-metal coffin with extra "amenities" is absolutely a scam) - than it is the person selling it. Funeral homes are trained to exploit the grief of the loved ones in order to upsell, so as a result, they dislike those who plan things out _well_ in advance of the actual event, and these particular people tend to be who is going to be in the coffin. In other words, if you really want to avoid a scam, plan it out well in advance, and find as many loved ones as you can (never settle for just one person) who will stick to it.
@@uxartmusicvideo-andphotogr2043 They still would since in Austria we have much less luxurious coffins. They're still coveted in fabric from what I know, but open viewings aren't a thing here - which I guess adds to the "luxurious" outline. Also, grieving ppl often find it comforting to know their loved ones are well-bedded and cozy.
@@takashishibato3696 that is so niche or specific that it honestly makes no logical sense that you think that's a decent explanation. It's just to upsell griveing families by giving 'one last gift' to their loved ones, it's emotional manipulation. Even the 20ga got crushed, imagine what the cheaper wooden ones do.
18:40 The "white line thing" was actually used a few times where the victim was not immediately dead, and needed to be moved to a hospital ASAP - in which case, the police needed an alternate way to know the scene at the moment of the incident.
first result of google search "While chalk outlines were occasionally used in the past, they often were drawn by the police for press photographers, not for investigative purposes. It allowed the press to take a picture and represent the scene without the gruesomeness of a body."
Even somewhat recently there was a plane crash were a person survived, but almost didn't due to the emergency personnel constantly walking past the person! Just imagine being aware that everyone is ignoring your mangled not dead yet body! In this case, I think the fire chief was penalized in some way. Many cities now transport any person who may have a chance of survival to the hospital, so that the hospital can determine absence of life.
@@riggles I'm pretty sure in Mythbusters' case the missing audio channel is just a production fuck up since it's usually just the narrator on 1 channel and rest of the audio is in stereo. The numbering isn't as weird either tbh
@@rigglesepisode 103 is how they identify episodes. It incorporates the season (1) and the episode in the season (03). So the labeling is redundant but correct.
@@PixelTheRetro After watching this, I realized I have this episode on Google Play and it seems to have both audio channels, so I don’t think it’s a production mistake. I doubt it would have ever made it to air.
Someone said that this is the international version which is slightly longer than the US version due to commercial lengths. It was probably cut out of the US version, assuming that's what you watched.
It wasn't under- or overproduction. Over the time doing more complex production got cheaper and cheaper as technology envolved and computers getting better for making more easily.
For its normal intended purpose, there's no real need for a casket to protect its occupant, but keeping the weight manageable would be more of a consideration. When I first saw this episode I was incredulous that they seemed to have completely omitted any kind of testing or even theoretical calculations to check if the casket would be likely to withstand the weight of the earth on top of it. This was some years after magician "Amazing" Joe Burrus died when the transparent coffin from which he was attempting to escape collapsed under the weight of earth and wet cement on top. Burying Jamie without thorough prior testing seems reckless, but perhaps he wanted it that way to make the experiment more accurate by inducing real fear. He still remained remarkably calm under the circumstances - even his elevated pulse, at 115, is rather lower than I'd expect.
A rare occurrence but it's no folklore. it has been documented in many places, even well into the 20th century, of people being buried alive. It was less likely in places where bodies were embalmed but not all communities had access to such services.
This is the exact reason that caskets are put into concrete vaults during burial. You just don't see the vault because the cemetery workers cover it up with material. Caskets aren't really very strong.
Apparently, Jamie DID manage to find that leg and retrieve it after coming back with scuba gear, which was good since they couldn't get replacement parts for Buster (he was an older model and technically unofficially on loan from a govt department) and weren't yet confident fabricating them.
That is why when you see cliff diving competitions you will notice water being sprayed on the landing site to keep breaking the waters surface tension.
this is the creepiest Mythbuster. Fo me anyway, they didn't waste a second getting him out I have claustrophobia, so I can't even imagine. I have to take a relaxing pill if I go in an MRI
The velvet weird creepy feeling - I had a fever dream in like 4th grade - idk why it stuck with me so long… but yeah, I just remember darkness and the weird velvety everything around me. Possible past life memory?
When jumping on waterjiumps with skis, for freestyle jump training, someone always threw a fistful of gravel before the peron hit the water, as it broke up the surface. Later we got a bubble system
I still love the fact, that Mythbusters can destroy a crashtest dummy :-D and over time there are nothing left of the OG dummy, and all the parts have been made to fit :-D
I really wanna know whos sample that was at the end😂 how awkward it would have been to know your coworker just had some fun and now your recording it.😂
I never thought I was claustrophobic until I started to need MRI's of my head. Knowing that you're costing the tax payer if you panic and need to be let out only adds to the weight you have on you to stay in... and yeah. If you don't know, look up MRI head aerials. You're like that for an hour or so, with extremely loud noises and half way into a tube which constricts your movement almost completely. It's pretty stressful. Apparently most people find out they are claustrophobic through the process.
I wondered if this channel would also upload the pilot episodes, more or less, that episode where they experimented the dead using a carcass of a pig they buried
Dudes, high divers ALL throw a rock into the water first. If you don't believe in the waves or in the surface tension, at least SEEING the water gets easier. Some of these people jump 60 to around 90 feet, they do want a smooth landing. They must SEE that water.
I remember seeing in Europe during Covid 19 they where filming all the deaths in body bags when I noticed the bodies in the background where moving and one of them was adjusting the bag and zipping it up. Does that count?
"One version of the narrative is that your friend's great great grandma was very ill" Why does it have to be a friend, and can it not just be his grandma? Btw, who even has a great great grandma still alive?
So that is not your regular grandma. It is not the mother of the grandma. It is the mother of the mother of the grandma. Or am i wrong? Is it the mother of the mother of the mother of the mother of the grandma? I think the first option is correct. It could also be the mother of the mother of the mother of the grandma. 1 less mother there. Anyways, is there anyone alive who still has a living great great grandma? And second question: WHY does it have to be a person like that? Can it not be a child who suffered from some rare condition, and so doctors thought it was dead while it wasnt? Who writes this stuff? O wait, i just did. But the Great Great Grandma crap, who comes up with that?
It has happened in the passed that's why you have sayings like dead ringer. For the bells that was placed at graves and people would ring them if they was actually alive. As this had happen quiet alot in alder times
My Neighbor's wife died and they had the Ceremony at the house before going to the Graveyard for burial. As they were moving through the hallway w the Coffin was a tight corner, the pallbearer hit the corner and dropped the Coffin! The wife fell out and came back to life all of a sudden, it was a Miracle. 1 year later she died again watching TV. They had the Funeral at the home again and began moving through the hall towards the front door. Just before they got there my Neighbor said to the pallbearers, "watch out for the corner!". hahahahaha
I'm really glad they got rid of that folklorist lady. I mean, nothing against her personally, she could be the nicest lady in the entire universe for all I know, but she's just so out of place in and unnecessary for the show.
I think back when this season was made, society was a lot more nieve, and more people would enjoy such folklore. Now, in 2024, I believe less people enjoy this type of folklore. Myself, I would say there's a time and a place, it can be enjoyable, but maybe only a couple times a season. And I think she does bring something to it, just maybe not as much as was believed by production. I don't take it away from production or her, it's nice and innocent, kind of like a simpler time, even though it wasn't an eternity ago. In short, I do get some enjoyment from her lore drops
@@colinofay7237 There is nothing wrong with what she is doing, its just misplaced. It could be a great show on its own, if she went more in depth with the myths. But that show wouldnt need a workshop and all the tests. It would just need some graphics or artistic reenactments of the events. And maybe some interviews with experts in a related field. Kind of like a 'true crime'-documentary, but with less gore.
@@colinofay7237 Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one🙂 I didn't see the relevance of her appearing on the show back in the day and I still don't, but luckily it's a lot easier skipping a few seconds of a show nowadays compared to when this first aired, in the later televisual stone age😉 I agree with @SirHorned19 that she'd be a much better fit in another format/concept though👍
50 minutes with that little air inside... One sees some Scifi situations where lifesupport gives up in ship which has millions of cubic meters of inner volume and only few hundreds of crew. And the crew starts to feel that in minutes... Bad science.
Depends on how the life support functions. If it dumps CO2 back into the system or something when it fails it could do that because CO2 levels can take you down a lot faster than low oxygen can depending on the atmosphere.
Thats scary being in the coffin, i usually barry people at work and im very carefull to not crush a coffin if i can, but they crack sometimes im not gonna lie
military vet here. i was declared dead after a raid went back and in less then 24 hours i was shipped back and stuffed in a pine box. some how i lived woke up mid serum at the burial. was toold i had been dead 3 days. no one thought to do a brain scan... tho this was 15 years back and it wasnt common and i was a green beret. us dying is like and special forces its an honored and done fast thing.
The concrete casings are called Burial Vaults , they're used to protect the ground from caving in and the casket from being crushed plus it keeps all of the liquefied human remains and formaldehyde from leeching into the ground whenever the casket rots and buckles.
Great story i heard as true is guy gets hanged.. Friends take body when cut down and rough wagon ride and whatever else they did but he actually came awake yelling because he beat the hangman. His friends afraid he'd be heard and taken back to get it right one knocked him in head with a club..killing him 😂. I think it was in a book called Chronicles of Crime i found on youtube audiobook.
Maby the auto industry should put accelerometers in there crash test dummies, it could give enginears the measurements they need to make cars safer and can even extend to infastructor like roads, and buildings.
@@tonymorris4335IIRC, Buster(s) was of the ver.2 of the product line, which was cheaper then the ver.3 which was the latest at the time. I suppose more advanced versions have come out since the early 2000s when the early episodes were filmed.
I'm not sure the necessary technology exists, so that could have been a significant challenge. If they did come up with an accurate artificial simulation it could be useful to other future researchers, but less entertaining for viewers than watching Jamie Hyneman intentionally endanger his own life.
Indeed... "There are multiple legends about being buried alive because apparently there were stories about this since the ancient times." So that clears things up. Myth busted
"When we bombed the aid workers we made a mistake, most likely because we made an error" Once upon a time there was a taverne where you could drink and hang out with other people. They build this new cinema to show the people movies. 1 plus 1, nah, 5 i guess.
One version of the narrative is that your friend's great great grandma was very ill" Why does it have to be a friend, and can it not just be his grandma? Btw, who even has a great great grandma still alive?
If you leave a car battery in a tank of cola for a week, it will completely dissolve it. Try it at home with a fish tank, but make sure you look up proper disposal options in your area for after. WE SHOULD NOT BE DRINKING THIS STUFF. Also, most graveyards require that a coffin be buried in something called a cask. A cask is a concrete box that the coffin is encased in. Not only does this keep the coffin from being crushed, but it also keeps the dirt at ground level from sinking as the material biodegrades.
He did say accidentally so I took that to mean people have buried people alive on purpose but not a person in a coma. I think it was either George Washington or Thomas Jefferson that had it in his will that he was to not be buried for at least 3 days to avoid being buried in a coma.

One thing I love about Myth Busters is that it is just timeless. Some of these episodes are almost 20 years old, and don’t feel dated at all.
To be fair seing older tech kinda datese these episodes, but in a good way

Is it me only or coffins truly are scams? I dont think anyone burying their loved ones, ever imagined about it being crushed due to pressure.
A lot of the deathcare industry is a scam. Most people don't need embalming but many mortician insist that you must. They'll guilt you into buying the most expensive casket "don't you care about your grandma? She's going to be in there a long time"
Most caskets rot to nothing in a few years. The only time a armour plated reinforced coffin with drainage holes is needed is when you plan to dig them back up (seriously I've seen first hand what happens when a casket suffers a catastrophic structural failure while doing that... a coworker got covered in cadaver soup. That had been fermenting for about a year... I was glad I was out of the splash zone
They are definitely scams.
I would prefer a plain box of untreated pine and a plain linen shroud.
Maybe if we make the coffins comfortable enough the zombies will just relax, lol. I think the coffins are themselves put into a larger steel box.
It is not so much the coffin - not in most cases, anyway (the whole platinum/other-rare-metal coffin with extra "amenities" is absolutely a scam) - than it is the person selling it.

In my area, coffins are not buried by themselves. A concrete vault is placed over them.
Coffin seller: “We have a velvet interior, comfy pillow, springbed matress”…..are these people missing the elephant in the room? The occupant is DEAD!
in case you will need it in reenactment or maybe wanting a macabre furniture, it will definitely make sense.

This episode is the legendary, Who was to blame for "Buster's" losing his leg?, Adam or Jamie?
These caskets seem no where near as strong as they are sold.
what would you even need a steel one for?

@@xl000 You got better? Nope. And never will. If u did, u'd prob get laid soon.
I'm really glad they got rid of that folklorist lady.
I mean, nothing against her personally, she could be the nicest lady in the entire universe for all I know, but she's just so out of place in and unnecessary for the show.
I think back when this season was made, society was a lot more nieve, and more people would enjoy such folklore.
Now, in 2024, I believe less people enjoy this type of folklore.
Myself, I would say there's a time and a place, it can be enjoyable, but maybe only a couple times a season.
And I think she does bring something to it, just maybe not as much as was believed by production.
I don't take it away from production or her, it's nice and innocent, kind of like a simpler time, even though it wasn't an eternity ago.
In short, I do get some enjoyment from her lore drops
@@colinofay7237 There is nothing wrong with what she is doing, its just misplaced. It could be a great show on its own, if she went more in depth with the myths. But that show wouldnt need a workshop and all the tests. It would just need some graphics or artistic reenactments of the events. And maybe some interviews with experts in a related field. Kind of like a 'true crime'-documentary, but with less gore.
@@colinofay7237 Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one🙂
I didn't see the relevance of her appearing on the show back in the day and I still don't, but luckily it's a lot easier skipping a few seconds of a show nowadays compared to when this first aired, in the later televisual stone age😉
I agree with @SirHorned19 that she'd be a much better fit in another format/concept though👍
She's less annoying than Kari
The female medic chose the exact moment of her intervention to bind her hair.
I thought they now put coffins in cement boxes.
50 minutes with that little air inside...
One sees some Scifi situations where lifesupport gives up in ship which has millions of cubic meters of inner volume and only few hundreds of crew. And the crew starts to feel that in minutes... Bad science.
Depends on how the life support functions. If it dumps CO2 back into the system or something when it fails it could do that because CO2 levels can take you down a lot faster than low oxygen can depending on the atmosphere.
@@tonymorris4335 That would be really. but really bad engineering.
@@petersvancarek Or your average game over in FTL.
What if the person was unconcious until minutes before being rescued?
Where'd they get the sperm?
Hey Adam we need a sample for a myth later
Thats scary being in the coffin, i usually barry people at work and im very carefull to not crush a coffin if i can, but they crack sometimes im not gonna lie
You job must involve seeing the word bury fairly often…..So why say ‘barry’, or was that autocorrect stepping in? Just curious.
@@contessa.adella maybe he listens to a lot of barry white when burying people and the autocorrect autocorrected haha
Yes of course you do
You'd think the embalming would kill them long before the burial 😅
Oh definitely. But embalming hasn't been around for long and is only a US thing really, at least here in Europe it's not widespread
Someone busted the sperm before the spermicide myth was busted
Was that a frckn live snake on the table???
That's a casket, not a coffin
military vet here. i was declared dead after a raid went back and in less then 24 hours i was shipped back and stuffed in a pine box. some how i lived woke up mid serum at the burial. was toold i had been dead 3 days. no one thought to do a brain scan... tho this was 15 years back and it wasnt common and i was a green beret. us dying is like and special forces its an honored and done fast thing.
Coffins go into a concrete casing not just buried under dirt. I know this cause the concrete casing company is 5 minutes away from me.
The concrete casings are called Burial Vaults , they're used to protect the ground from caving in and the casket from being crushed plus it keeps all of the liquefied human remains and formaldehyde from leeching into the ground whenever the casket rots and buckles.
Am I the only one who saw a snake around 42:12 to 42:50?
Great story i heard as true is guy gets hanged.. Friends take body when cut down and rough wagon ride and whatever else they did but he actually came awake yelling because he beat the hangman. His friends afraid he'd be heard and taken back to get it right one knocked him in head with a club..killing him 😂. I think it was in a book called Chronicles of Crime i found on youtube audiobook.
Maby the auto industry should put accelerometers in there crash test dummies, it could give enginears the measurements they need to make cars safer and can even extend to infastructor like roads, and buildings.
They do but those ones cost a lot more money so Mythbusters didn't have that at the start.
@@tonymorris4335IIRC, Buster(s) was of the ver.2 of the product line, which was cheaper then the ver.3 which was the latest at the time. I suppose more advanced versions have come out since the early 2000s when the early episodes were filmed.
The "diving with hammer" sucks. the dummy need to dive every single time the same way. And it didn't.

maybe they should have used a dummy for this to fully simulate the burried alive moment. not that plausible experiment
I'm not sure the necessary technology exists, so that could have been a significant challenge. If they did come up with an accurate artificial simulation it could be useful to other future researchers, but less entertaining for viewers than watching Jamie Hyneman intentionally endanger his own life.
Wonder if they dropped the hammer and jumped like 1 or 2 seconds later if it would be alot better 🤷♂️
46:31 what’s up the the dead torture victim that they have hung up by his wrists in their office???
42:15 who snake is that
"Raising Teens" hmmmm Warlocks in training xD
Point your toes, protect your nose, clench your cheeks and you'll go deep.
I'm bothered by how curious I am about the source of the sperm.
It’s a good thing they got rid of the folklorist on the after the first season. She adds nothing interesting to the show and seems a little coo coo
29:43 that's definitely an F bomb that snuck past the editors
did u get the wrong timestamp? he says 'thats not how you do it you idiot... ahh hah '
only illegal in the US because of an FCC Section 73.3999

Indeed...
"There are multiple legends about being buried alive because apparently there were stories about this since the ancient times."
So that clears things up. Myth busted
"When we bombed the aid workers we made a mistake, most likely because we made an error"
Once upon a time there was a taverne where you could drink and hang out with other people.
They build this new cinema to show the people movies.
1 plus 1, nah, 5 i guess.
One version of the narrative is that your friend's great great grandma was very ill"
Why does it have to be a friend, and can it not just be his grandma?
Btw, who even has a great great grandma still alive?
You know it be nice to see the unhidden videos would be nice..
These 2 must hate each other.
I don't think they ever hated each other but the friction between them is real.
If you leave a car battery in a tank of cola for a week, it will completely dissolve it. Try it at home with a fish tank, but make sure you look up proper disposal options in your area for after. WE SHOULD NOT BE DRINKING THIS STUFF.
Also, most graveyards require that a coffin be buried in something called a cask. A cask is a concrete box that the coffin is encased in. Not only does this keep the coffin from being crushed, but it also keeps the dirt at ground level from sinking as the material biodegrades.
haha! the brown priest saying no one alive has ever been put in a coffin is just comedy gold
He did say accidentally so I took that to mean people have buried people alive on purpose but not a person in a coma. I think it was either George Washington or Thomas Jefferson that had it in his will that he was to not be buried for at least 3 days to avoid being buried in a coma.
@@southeastcoastalphotography people have been buried alive, especially accidentally.
in south africa in 1993 we didnt know what a zombie was
Pouring all that cola into a car block just seems like asking for rodents to nest there.
the question we're all asking ourselfs is, who's sperm was it?
my dAd loved wood got a wood coffin
