THE BLACK BOX


The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the US auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing 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 45 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"


Only the states of West Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Alabama, and Texas were different, where over 89.3 percent of the final words were:


"Hold my beer and watch this."
