The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past
five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box
voice recorders in four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an
effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the
last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find in 44 of the 50 states the recorded
last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were,
"Oh, Sh*t!"
Only the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama and Kentucky
were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were, "Hold
my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."
