How to Survive If You Are Buried Alive
__________________________________________________

1. Conserve your air supply.
   Take deep breaths, then hold for as long as possible before exhaling. Do not breathe and then swallow, which will lead to hyperventilation.


2. Press up on the coffin lid with your hands.
   Continually tap SOS on the lid: three quick taps followed by three slow taps followed by three more quick taps.


3. Remove your shirt.


4. Tie the bottom of the shirt in a knot.


5. Place your head through the neck hole.
   The shirt will prevent you from suffocating on loose earth.


6. Break through the coffin lid by kicking your feet against it.


7. Use your hands to push the dirt toward your feet.
   Breathe slowly and regularly. Continue clearing the dirt until you can stand and climb out.
