33 year-old Irish builder, Mick Meaney holding up a glass of beer from inside his specially-made coffin, laid out upstairs at the Admiral Nelson pub in Kilburn, north London, 19th February 1968. Meaney is training for an attempt on the world record for the longest time spent buried underground. While underground, he will be supplied with air, food, newspapers and books through a six-inch pipe, and will have a telephone for emergencies. Meaney later achieved his goal, emerging from his 'grave' after 61 days under a builder's yard in Kilburn. (Photo by Chris Ware/Keystone Features/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
