Black Boxes
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that they
had for the past five years covertly funded a project with US auto
makers whereby the auto makers installed black boxes in four wheel
drive pickup 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 44 of the 50 states that the last words
of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!" Only the
states of West Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama,
Texas, and Tennessee were different, where over 89.3 percent of the
final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this."
