In his latest video, ‘I Spent 7 Days Buried Alive’, Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, recorded himself being buried in a six-foot grave for seven days. To prepare for his latest stunt, MrBeast arranged a makeshift graveyard and a glass coffin underground. Once he entered the coffin, a construction vehicle placed sand into the plot until it was fully covered, and MrBeast said it was the scariest thing he’s done, as reported by MEAWW.
While in the coffin, he described how he would survive for seven days by showing a briefcase containing MREs and snacks. Additionally, he told his viewers that three people were constantly monitoring his well-being in case things went wrong.

During his ordeal, MrBeast was feeling very tired on day four and said he couldn’t sleep. “I hope tomorrow’s easier. It’s a weird feeling. I am very tired, but for some reason I can’t sleep. I don’t know. I’ve never had this happen before. Why am I crying? I don’t know,” he explained.
After finally completing the seven day experience, MrBeast said it was a crazy feeling when he emerged from the ground and felt good to finally celebrate 200 million followers.
“I didn’t die, all good! It’s actually a crazy feeling, but the real surprise was waiting for me. I was finally able to celebrate reaching 200 million.”
There were mixed reactions about his latest stunt and fans said they wouldn’t be able to even last more than 3 minutes underground.
