The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had ‘covertly’ funded a project with the US automakers for the past 5 years, whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in 4-wheel-drive pick-up 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 that in 38 of the 50 states, the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, “OH SHIT!”



Only the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas were different, where 89.3% of the final words were, “Hold my beer, I’m gonna try somethin’.”
