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, similar to those put in commercial airplanes, in four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine the circumstances in the last moments before a fatal accident.
They were not surprised to find in 46 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"
But the states of Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi were different. In these states, 89.3 percent of the final words were, "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."
