The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly
funded a project with 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 moments before the crash.
They were not surprised to find in 44 of the 50 states the recorded last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"
But the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama and Kentucky
were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were, "Hold my beer,
I'm gonna try somethin."
