The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto maker for the past five
years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel
drive pick-up 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 49 of the 50 states the last words of
drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Sh-t!" Only the
state of Texas was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words
were:
"Hold my beer, Bubba, and watch this!"
