  In this episode of Mythbusters, Jamie and Adam see if you can be saved from death by a hammer. Also how air can last in your coffin. And cola has many other uses then just drink it. hide show

  I thought this episode was great! Well I say that often but I really do like this episode. I always new that a hammer wouldnt really help you... Anyways, its intersting how long Jamie withstanded that coffin. I thought it would be short, but Jamie made it seem so much longer. IT WAS COOL. Also I guess coke has more use then just drinking it. The cola has a lot more use. Ill remember that when im cleaning some of my chrom in my car. Very nice info I can use, the Mythbusters always seem to find a way to surprise me.

  Do you agree?

• During the Buried Alive myth, one of the priests said that if the people didn't die from natural cause, they would die by their undertaker. [edit]
• People could not really live an hour in a casket in the panic state due to the fact that they would lose too much oxygen. [edit]

• This episode was released on Mythbusters: Collection 1. [edit]
• During the Hammer Bridge Drop, Buster hit the water so hard, foam came out of his body and some metal parts broke. [edit]
• For the Buried Alive myth, Jamie needed an emergency oxygen tank because it could run out of oxygen in the casket. [edit]

• Jamie: Its not bad, smells like food.
  Adam: Will you eat it?
  Jamie: No.
  Adam: Oh and after all that talk you won't eat it. [edit]
• Adam (Pouring cola on an engine) Im telling you right now im not doing this on my car. [edit]
• Adam: The steak floats in the acid, but not in the cola.
  Jamie: Thats amazing! I would have guessed the other way around. [edit]

• Adam: Just be quiet and scrub, Cinderella.
  
  This is a reference to the Disney character Cinderella, who was always bossed around and forced to cook and clean. [edit]
