The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project with the US auto makers for the past five
years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in
four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal
accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the
crash. They were surprised to find in 45 of the 50 states the last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"
Only the states of Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama and Texas
were different, where over 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold
my beer and watch this."
