The National Transportation Safety Board recently
divulged they had "covertly" funded a project with the
U.S. automakers for the past 5 years, whereby the
automakers were installing black-box voice recorders
in 4-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 48 of the 50 states the
recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal
crashes were, "Oh Shit !"
Only Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula
were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words
were:
"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin'."
