The man was buried alive, to die in about 5, 5:00

But the end is not too muchitelnym



Have you ever thought about how many people can live, if it accidentally (or intentionally) buried alive? Previously, there were different assumptions about that time, called different time periods - from 10 minutes to 36 o'clock, and then, finally, the scientists decided to dot the i.

Mostly, it comes down to the volume of air that houses the tomb: the slender man, the longer it can live in a closed coffin, simply because there is still more room for air. The volume average coffin is about 886-year-liters (213 × 71 × 58 cm), and the human body takes on average in the space of about 66 liters. The fifth part of the air, holding the "useful volume" of oxygen - is 164 liters. For a healthy adult breathing enough 0, 5 liters of oxygen per minute, that is, all of the oxygen in the coffin will be spent in around 5, 5:00.

According to Alan Leff, Professor, University of Chicago: "It is hardly buried alive can do something about it. If you are in the grave, from there you will likely not get out. " Even if a prisoner managed to get out of the coffin before run out of air, it is necessary to overcome the ground about two meters that separate it from the ground.



"Soil - a very dense and heavy substance, so he feels like he rolled into the asphalt," - says Ethan Green, director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Green argues that even if a person is able to move, the land falls into the nostrils and mouth, leading to clogging of the airways and as a consequence - to suffocation. In addition, you need to get out of the grave as soon as possible, otherwise the carbon dioxide that will inevitably build up in a coffin, cause drowsiness, and then coma. Professor Liff concludes: "When oxygen is over, you will feel the choking, but at least you before his death falls into unconsciousness, so that the last minutes are unlikely to be painful».
