Burying Alive

Two gem-pit workers were working in a gem pit. They were digging for gem veins. The rest of the workers had climbed out for tea. While they were digging the bank of the pit slipped and they were buried alive. The injured were in critical condition and they were admitted to the hospital. But they were dead on admission. The pit wall had not been buttressed by logs.
