How often were people accidentally buried alive back then?
graves have been dug up and when the coffins were opened scratch marks were found at the the top. Live burial was far from unknown in a day of less precise medical practices

Very early in David Letterman's NBC show he went to an inventor's convention in NYC and interviewed a guy from South America who had invented this kind of machine. A hilarious bit, I wonder if the clip is online anywhere...
