The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past 5 years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice recorders in four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine in accidents the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find that in 40 of the 50 states the boxes recorded as last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of crashes: "Oh Shit!"
Only the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisianna, Georgia and Texas were different. There 89.3 percent of the
words before impact were:
"Hold my beer; I'm gonna try somethin'."
