Black Box Recorders
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, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Alabama and
Kentucky were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were,
"Hold
my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."
