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 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 41 of the 50 states the recorded last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh xxxx !"
only the states of Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas,
Alabama, Georgia, and Texas were different, where 89.3 percent of the
final words were:
"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."
